It is being said that companies are paying people to write positive blogs about their products. Alledgedly they recieve payments such as free laptops, trips to Europe, and large sums of money among other gifts. The FTC (Federal Trade Comission) wants to set down rules and guidelines for bloggers in order to stop these false advertisements. This is great for the consumers that take these blogs seriously, but technically isn't it violating "freedom of speech"? And just a side note to remember, the commercials on T.V have paid actors as well. Something to think about.
