The Federal Trade Commission unanimously voted this week to outlaw fake reviews and misleading marketing tactics.

FTC Chair Lina Khan emphasized the rule’s goal to clean up online marketplaces from deceptive practices, ensuring consumers make informed choices without falling for fake praise or manipulated ratings.
