UK Government Ban on Subscription Traps and Fake Reviews
Today the UK government introduced a new bill called the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumer Bill to level the playing field between local businesses and big tech firms and help customers not be fooled by fake reviews in the UK.
Fake reviews are a serious problem for online businesses. They can mislead customers and at worst can damage the reputation of a business. This is why this new bill from the UK government is important to provide equal opportunity to all businesses of any size.
The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumer Bill will make it illegal for people to receive money or free goods for writing glowing reviews. It will also give more power to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) to enforce consumer law and crack down on tech giants if they abuse their market dominance.
This is just the start of fixing a large problem with the online marketplace and the dominance of big tech firms, the CMA also plans to help verify reviews and help people manage their subscriptions and extend cooling-off periods.
This bill is good news for businesses that rely on honest feedback from their customers. Now you don't have to worry as much about big tech companies faking glowing reviews for their product and everyone can be equal on the playing field. Now, its up to you to maintain your customers' satisfaction and get some glowing reviews! Here are some ways you can make sure you have happy customers:
