Did you actually read the decision that was made? OR are you just defending Lars and company blindly like you have for a long time?
There was no ruling made, the FTC gets involved when you are doing shady shit, nothing more then that.
There was no ruling made. The two sides came to a mutual agreement. This was most likely done because AFF knew they were in the wrong and if they let it go to a situation when a ruling could be made they would have been owned and had a heafty fine. Kind of like a plee agreement in court.
Did you ever stop to think that an agreement which you are saying is one of the scariest things you have ever saw would not have happened if AFF ran a clean ship? Maybe if they were not targeting sexually explict ads to people looking for flowers, or using spyware and adware, installs to get traffic this situation would not have happened...
Oh yeah, they also were placing ads in places that children were viewing them, yes it's true it's stated within the agreement.
When you say this ruling is scary to anyone selling sex.. That is part true. This ruling will be scary for anyone who uses these shady methods to generate that traffic. If you use something like zango to target people looking for a vacation spot, or buying flowers and send them to your adult sex site, then yes you are going to have a big issue. If you are using spyware, installs etc to get traffic to your site, then yes you are going to have a big issue.
This has nothing to do with being an AFF hater, and everything do with them fucking themselves with their shady tatics.

Sleazy is a big pile of dong, nother more nothing less. Don't expect him to understand this.
It wasn't like one rouge affiliate did something bad for 24 hours and the FTC stepped in. This isn't scarry!! This is a direct result of the FTC getting complaints for weeks / months, probably years from people pissed off at what AFF was doing here, which was targeting very mainstream words with porn. Also notice the FTC said they have to provide a way for people to make complaints. Obviously people complained to AFF about this and CC'ed the FTC. The FTC could see that people were contacting AFF about this and nothing was being done to stop it (shocking AFF actually responding to shaddy shit and fixing it!!!)
Fucking dumb ass Sleazy makes it sound like this can happen to anyone at any time from just one occurrence. SCARRY!!!
Ever notice how the FTC only gets involved with shady companies that have been shady for years. How many innocent companies around here have gotten slapped by the FTC because they had a rouge affiliate signup the day before and do bad shit.... none.
People complain to the site when they see dirty shit. The site is made away of the problem. The site either fixes it or they don't. If they don't months later complaints pile up at the FTC, the FTC does an investigation. How to avoid this, don't do shaddy shit and fix problems that are reported to you.
SCARRY!!!
