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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Give-me-the-keys-to-the-henhouse-said-the-fox-22647060 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 20:01:42 EDT Re: Give me the keys to the henhouse, said the fox http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Give-me-the-keys-to-the-henhouse-said-the-fox-22645310 said by major marco:

Yeah, because historically, "self regulation" has worked so well for oh, say, the financial services sector.
Yes, thank you John McCain!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Give-me-the-keys-to-the-henhouse-said-the-fox-22645310 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 13:53:46 EDT Re: Give me the keys to the henhouse, said the fox http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Give-me-the-keys-to-the-henhouse-said-the-fox-22644626 said by ThrowDemsOut:

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

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.
