The Verge (Vox Media) fails to disclose native advertisement of "Slack". A board member of Vox Media is ALSO a board member of Slack http://www.theverge.com/2015/6/24/8836087/slack-1-million-daily-users https://archive.is/KXspJ When they were called out on it, their response was mockery http://i.gyazo.com/ffa09b26edbe6d9b40cc348b7df440af.png https://twitter.com/DubsGG/status/614376754308882436 However it turns out that... Andrew Braccia is a board member for both Slack and Vox Media. https://archive.is/7sbUL GET MAD. THIS COULD BE SOMETHING WE COULD HIT VOX WITH THROUGH THE FTC Update: The exact section violated is 16 CFR §255.5: Disclosure of material connections. When there exists a connection between the endorser and the seller of the advertised product that might materially affect the weight or credibility of the endorsement (i.e., the connection is not reasonably expected by the audience), such connection must be fully disclosed.
