The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has proposed a rule that it says would help eliminate fake reviews and keep companies from suppressing negative reviews or paying for positive reviews meant to deceive consumers looking for real feedback on products or services.

The FTC said it has files full of deceptive practices involving consumer reviews and testimonials and said the time to act is now because generative artificial intelligence could make it even easier for bad actors to write fake reviews.

The proposed measures would prohibit the following:

  • Selling or obtaining fake consumer reviews and testimonials by someone who does not exist, who did not have experience with the product or service, or who misrepresented the experience. It also would prohibit businesses from procuring such reviews or disseminating them if it knew or should have known that they were fake.

  • Buying positive or negative reviews. Read More
