There is a huge difference between fiction-based advertising (Old Spice is a great example of this one :D) and fraudulent advertising, though.
“I am a pirate and this product keeps me smelling fresh (it’s a deodorant and it works as advertised)” - fictional character, accurate product representation
“I am a struggling marginalised business owner selling artisanal products (that are actually from Shien, and I’m either a paid actor or AI)” - fake person, fraudulent product representation




“and this whole thing would be a total non-issue” I didn’t know corporate lawyers used Lemmy/PieFed lmao
This isn’t a paid-off court. Your tiny barely-compliant text is no good here.
