#OpPolyGone : WTF is wrong with Polygon?

I decided to do some digging into FTC law to see if #GamerGate had anything on Phil Owen my reasoning is even if I found nothing, it would be useful for later Ops.

Here is what I found: https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/plain-language/bus41-dot-com-disclosures-information-about-online-advertising.pdf

Go to page 4 point 4

So the only “disclosure” we have is the name of the man writing the article after disclosing it on twitter, howoever he hadn’t put it there before, so now have him trying to speak on behalf of “Polygon staff” which makes the entire article very unclear on who wrote the advert to begin with, Phil Owen or a member of Polygon. For your everyday consumer this is very misleading and should be brought up.

Some will argue that the “book” is such a small price that it shouldn’t matter, but I would argue that it is still bad practice and though we know to take Polygon with a pinch of salt, your everyday consumer won't. It also raises questions on previous conflicts of interest on Microsoft, but we'll cross that bridge later.

So we’ll be doing the same as before with the last #OpPolyGone but this time go at it not from a conflict of interest (because it isn’t) but that the article is misleading about a product (the book) and that you’ve just noticed that the last article was written by the seller, not by a member of Polygon staff.

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
