FTC Economist Requests 85,000 Transparency Reports to Carryout In-depth Analysis on Fake Reviews

The Federal Trade Commission is saddled with the responsibility of consumer protection in the United States. In keeping step with this, Economist Davesh Rava is conducting a study on the impact of fake reviews in the U.S. marketplace

Online shopping has become the norm in recent times. It is no surprise, and the global lockdown consequent on the outbreak of COVID-19 has presented shoppers with no other option. Businesses have latched onto e-commerce as a tool for business growth and sustainability today.

Before buying a product online, Americans can consult a large repository of customer ratings and reviews to be better informed about a product. A study that a one-star increase in a product's rating on a consumer rating website leads to a 5-9 percent increase. Knowing this, many businesses and websites display fraudulent or paid reviews to lure unsuspecting customers.

The continued rise of fake online reviews has become a source of concern for online shoppers, and for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), it is about rooting them out of the US Market. The Federal Trade Commission is the government agency responsible for enforcing U.S. antitrust law and promoting consumer protection.

As part of steps aimed at ridding the U.S. Marketplace of the presence and impact of fake reviews, Economist Davesh Raval has requested 85,000 transparency reports from The Transparency Company. Section 5(a) of the FTC Act prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or practices ('UDAP') in or affecting commerce, and Davesh Raval will use these reports in an in-depth analysis that is expected to create a sustainable roadmap for the FTC in tackling the upsurge of fake online reviews.
