I’m curious about everyone’s thoughts on this. Do we think it will affect Canadian influencers? Maybe not yet, but I’d like to believe it’s only a matter of time before a similar law finds its way up north… and oh man, that day will be DELICIOUS.

    read the FTC document, it’s a 160 pages of how and more documents are on their way. It seems pretty easy to prove bots and instragram has a feature where users can delete bots. Large amounts of bots on an account will be considered purchased. Looks like the FTC isn’t fucking around. Note the wording- “This prohibition is limited to situations in which the buyer knew or should have known that the indicators were fake.”
