FTC passes new rules and regulations on social media

by admin on November 23, 2009

The world wide web has been a buzz with the newly passed rules regarding social media and full disclosure on blogs and other online marketing avenues.

A great new site has been developed to assist the full disclosure of materials.  It’s called Cmp.ly and has derived a short link to be used in full disclosure making it easier to “comply” with the new FTC Rules and Regulations.  Here is a great key to keep as a way to remember the links to full disclosure clauses.

Cmp.ly Disclosure 1 – http://cmp.ly/1

In each box there is a description in more detail of what is covered under each disclosure area.

The FTC has a great site designed to better help you in understanding the rules and regulations as they are set forth and revised.  Here is a video that explains more about the new rules.
