- #OpPolygone
- First read these: http://deepfreeze.it/journo.php?j=Samit_Sarkar , http://deepfreeze.it/journo.php?j=Alexa_Ray_Corriea
- A grand total of:
- 27 unethical articles/mentions about Disney infinity.
- 15 unethical articles about Harmonix.
- It’s ridiculous that despite the FTC going to Gawker, despite a huge ethic reform, we see shit like this. When we first saw it allot of us (I hope) sent emails to Polygon telling them about this, we were obviously ignored.
- So now it’s time to escalate. Enter #OpPolygone
- We're taking this to the FTC, I’ve already spoken to someone there and been given the all clear, but, to prove everything checks out here is what I have found from the FTC:
- Truth in Advertising: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/media-resources/truth-advertising
- Advertisement endorsements: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/media-resources/truth-advertising (notice that it says this applies to blogs)
- Endorsement guide: https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/ftcs-endorsement-guides-what-people-are-asking
- With that out of the way, I’ve done a very easy step by step guide for those of you who don’t know where to even begin, it’s very easy and will take you about 5-10 minutes.
- Before we begin, here is the site you will need: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt&panel1-1
- Maximize it if the words are all jumbled.
- There are 7 steps in total, I’ve made it very quick and easy for you all. If you already know what you’re doing skip to step 4 and 6
