Is it difficult to prove that’s what’s explicitly being sold in this case?

hayes_@sh.itjust.works 6 months agoThe law does apply to social media posts.
The social media company has to mark sponsored content and give users the means to do so themselves (when the partnership is between the user and a third party rather than the social media company).
Unfortunately it’s hard to prove and profitable to lie.

It’s hard since it could theoretically also be an actual user who used that website themself.

social media corporations can be made liable under the law, well how about here in Lemmy, where the instance owner may not even know that companies are creating bots and posting discrete advertisements, or hiring trolls to advertise for them?
