    AFF settles w/ FTC over explict content being distributed via spyware & adware popups

    According to the FTC, AdultFriendFinder.com, which touts itself as “The World’s Largest Sex & Swingers Personal Community,” and its affiliates use pop-up ads to drive traffic to its Web sites. Some of the ads have included graphic depictions of sexual behavior, exposing consumers, including children, to sexually explicit images. Such ads were displayed to consumers who were searching online using terms such as “flowers,” “travel,” and “vacations.” In some cases, defendant’s sexually explicit ads were distributed using spyware and adware.

    wait there is more:

    The settlement bars the defendant from displaying sexually explicit ads to consumers unless the consumers are actively seeking out sexually explicit content or unless the consumers have consented to viewing sexually explicit content. It requires the defendant to take steps to ensure that its affiliates comply with the restriction, and end its relationship with any affiliates who do not comply.
    wait, do you mean an affiliate company is actually responsible for what it's affiliates are doing ?? no way.

    Lets see thats:

    FTC:1 Zango: 0
    FTC:1 AFF:0

    Amazing AFF and Zango both got int trouble with the FTC for similar type shit.

                  Can't wait to see how much effort AFF puts into making sure their affiliates abide by that.

                    "It also requires the defendant to establish an Internet-based mechanism for consumers to submit complaints. Finally, the settlement contains bookkeeping and record- keeping requirements to allow the Commission to monitor compliance."

                    Ha ha ha. Brought that upon yourselves...dillholes.
