Do they really expect the advertising/marketing industry to be above board about this?

I'm sure they'll find a loophole somewhere.
There is a practical reason for Congress agreeing to let the industry self regulate whenever possible. And that is when they pass laws regulating companies, the industry can tie up the enforcement of the law in court for years. And then the industry often succeeds in gutting the regulation anyway. So, if Congress thinks they will get 50% of what they want thru threats alone, that is what they will settle for.

Yeah, because historically, "self regulation" has worked so well for oh, say, the financial services sector.

What? You mean it was all republicans? Grow up your savor Obama pushed for some of the laws that caused the failure of the banks, not to mention others in the party. It went the same for the republicans also. Reason the two party system isn't working.

On topic though, I can see this as bad. Who's going to inforce the rules?
There should be a law of penalties for them.
