This seems like an unambiguously good rule change from the FTC. Maybe the government got one right for a change.

Really? I wouldn't know.

I haven't read the whole ruling, but I'm going to assume 230 pages of administrative law is hiding a lot of BS in there.

It looks like vague, poorly defined, all-encompassing terms so anybody can be in violation just because the FTC decides to go after them. "Any misrepresentation" in any commercial - isn't that all commercials?
