Taiwan Fining Bloggers for False Advertising

1 replies
I wonder if officials from Taiwan have seen those Fiverr or Microworkers gigs yet.

Taiwan on Tuesday passed a law which will fine bloggers who make false claims or exaggerate on behalf of products and companies as the number of consumer disputes soars.
Under the revised fair trade law passed by the parliament, bloggers and other reviewers could be fined up to ten times the payment they receive for false advertising, officials said.
According to local media, some bloggers are paid up to Tw$70,000 ($2,300) per review. Often the reviews are disguised as innocent journal entries, while in fact they talk up products and services to lure customers.
