Today we’re going to talk about some important updates to US laws on acquiring and displaying customer reviews.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently fined online retailer Fashion Nova $4.2 million for blocking negative reviews of its products from being published on its website.
There have been many other companies fined by the FTC for this and related practices, but this latest one has triggered new FTC rules & guidelines for all companies as of Sept. 13, 2022.
The FTC also warned that “companies can be held responsible for what these review service providers do on their behalf, so companies should understand how to review software vendors to generate the results they offer.”
So let’s dive in and see what the new rules are so you don’t get in trouble.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
