Federal Trade Commission establish new rules beginning with December 1 for bloggers, forcing it to disclose any payment they receive for reviews. This applies for advertisers as well as for celebrities. The penalties are up to $11,000 for the violation of these rules.

While FTC is a specific US institution, I do not understand how these rules will be applied to the bloggers belonging to other nations, that comply with their own nation rules. Besides, as stated by Rick Calvert, chief executive of the blogger conference BlogWorld & New Media Expo, there are "tens of millions of blogs, podcasts and other forms of new media content out there and growing every day," so it is difficult to enforce the FTC rules.
