Takes effect in October, finally some good news

That only works for 3rd party vendors.
Amazon doesn’t even bother and just does shady content filtering to make their products always appear first and show real reviews that they think will make you buy the product.
There’s a partial chance they can shadow ban reviews or screw with the total rating too, but I think they entice enough people to produce a passable rating, even if the product is subpar.
Still anything is a start, FTC been making rounds lately.
I don’t think Amazon is the one buying fake reviews, considering it has tried to sue the people who write them. But if they were, then the FTC could go after them too.
