Andrew Cuomo smacks down astroturfing corporation Lifestlye Lift
Keep the face you have and turn away from Lifestyle Lift.
A company has been fined for using astroturfers to promote its products online, a US first. The company, Lifestyle Lift, also had a history of using trademark and copyright to threaten and silence its critics. The company settled with AG Andrew Cuomo’s office for a mere $300K. I favor the corporate death-penalty here — this company spent years defrauding the public and used the law to bully whistle-blowers. They don’t deserve to be in business for one more second.
How many other corporations are there out there doing this sort of thing?
