Social Media Influencers Stump for More Seamless Product Placement

There’s a new social media beef brewing in Hollywood.

A cross-section of influencers, their reps, and brand middlemen called out the FTC’s compulsory disclosures for their lucrative “sponsored post” line of business as unfair and discriminatory because television shows, music videos, NBA stars and Kardashians get a pass for publishing the same content.

Though billed as a panel featuring actress/social media star Arden Rose, online video vet Larry Shapiro (FullScreen, Big Frame, Ensemble), Ruben Ochoa (Head of the Disruptiv Agency), and digital L.A.’s glue Drew Baldwin (Tubefilter, The Streamy Awards), these stakeholders in the social media industry on stage and allies in the crowd unanimously grilled panelist Thomas Dahdouh, Director of the Federal Trade Commission’s Western Division, who kept his cool under gang cross-examination similar to a witness testifying before Congress.
