As the nation battles the coronavirus and all its negative consequences, the FTC has increased investigative efforts into individuals and companies allegedly engaged in unfair and deceptive practices on social media platforms or fraudulent online advertising.
FTC sent Notices of Penalty Offense to over 700 businesses; top consumer products companies, large retailers, tech platforms, media and gaming companies, and ad agencies, warning them against engaging in deceptive and unfair practices in using endorsements and testimonials in ads.
