Influencers are supposed to disclose their ads, but nothing happens when they don’t.

Those are some big names you called out there, Vox. Keep it up.

Hey TikTok. I got an idea. Since you can't find the time to police your content like all the other social media sites do (and on this very issue), why don't you put a flag button on all videos where people can report if an "influencer" put a paid sponsorship in their video and didn't disclose that fact?

Better yet, if you want to pay me, I'd be happy to take 'em all down a peg or two and suffer through endless hours of that trash and give you vast lists of videos that are breaking the FTC rules.
