There  is  no  “one  best  way  for  disclosure”  online.  

The  old  days  were  easier.

Industry  Panel  “Not  a  problem.”    “Too  many  organiza0ons  have  too  much  to  lose  if  they  try  to  deceive  an  audience.”    “Disclosure  is  a  simple  maQer.”    “Nothing  new.  Just  like  advertorials,  right?”

Industry  Panel  P&G:  “Transparency  is  a  brand-­‐building  impera0ve.”    Hearst:  “Is  it  something  that  someone  would  share,  or  is  it  exploita0ve?  Is  it  just  a  check?”

Academic/Expert  Panel  “‘Disclosures,’  aren’t.”    “What  is  ‘sponsorship,’  anyway?”    “‘What’s  this?’  is  sneaky.”    “Look  at  your  thumb!”

Thoughts  from  FTC  FTC  has  pursued  cases  where  misunderstanding  of  disclosure  was  as  low  as  5%.      “Disparate  impact”  standard  factors  into  disclosure  evalua0on.      The  FTC  does  not  have  to  prove  an  intent  to  deceive.

FTC  SFll  Must  Address  Its  Double  Standards  

Page 18: Ethics, FTC, and Native Advertising By Phil Gomes

Do  well  by  doing  good.  

You  are  not  the  measure  of  “disclosure.”  

Surprise!  Marketers  and  communicators  can/must/will  lead  the  ethics  discussion.  

Maintain  user  experience.  

Be  vigilant  against  over-­‐use.    18
