Senior Executive Service Performance Review Board Membership, 90694-90695 [2024-26818]

Download as PDF 90694 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 222 / Monday, November 18, 2024 / Notices lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 authentic reviews from customers who had received and had a chance to use the products, the complaint charges Sitejabber with deceptive conduct in violation of section 5. Sitejabber is also accused of having provided its retail clients with widgets by which the retailers could embed the IFPR-derived product ratings on their own websites. These widgets had no purpose other than to represent that those product ratings were derived from the reviews of consumers who had received and had a chance to use the product in question. This representation was false given that the ratings were obtained from consumers who had not received the product when they provided the rating. For offering this widget, the complaint charges Sitejabber with a further section 5 violation for providing the means and instrumentalities for the commission of deceptive acts and practices. Sitejabber’s condemned business practices are very different from Rytr’s. Rytr provided an AI-powered writing tool which could be used to generate draft consumer reviews.5 Although a consumer or business could have used Rytr’s tool to generate a false product review, and that false product review could in some circumstances violate section 5’s prohibition on deceptive acts or practices, that was not necessarily the case.6 Indeed, the Commission did not supply a single example of someone having used Rytr’s tool to violate section 5.7 A consumer also could have used Rytr’s tool to generate an initial draft of a perfectly honest consumer review.8 The mere fact that someone could use a product to commit fraud does not make that product the means and instrumentalities to commit fraud.9 In my view, the provision of a product or service with potential unlawful uses is not the provision of the means and instrumentalities to violate section 5 unless (1) the instrumentality in question ‘‘has no or de minimis legal use’’; 10 (2) the provider of the instrumentality had the purpose of facilitating the section 5 violation; 11 or (3) the provider ‘‘knows, or has reason to know, that the person to whom the product or service was supplied will use it to violate section 5.’’ 12 Whereas Rytr’s review generator tool satisfied none of those requirements, the 5 Ferguson Rytr Dissent at 1–2. at 6–7. 7 Id. at 2. 8 Id. at 7. 9 Id. at 5–6. 10 Id. at 6. 11 Id. at 7–9. 12 Ibid. 6 Id. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:17 Nov 15, 2024 allegations in the complaint here show that Sitejabber’s product satisfies all three. First, there is no legitimate purpose for a widget displaying an instant product review rating. No reasonable consumer would be interested in a one-to-five-star product rating derived from reviews left by other consumers who had not yet received or used the product.13 When a consumer views a product rating, he reasonably assumes that the rating is based on reviewers’ experiences with the product, not with the purchasing process. Second, because the widgets had no use other than to deceive consumers, we can reasonably infer that Sitejabber knew that every single one of its clients was using them for that purpose. Finally, there is ample evidence that Sitejabber’s very purpose in offering the widgets was to assist in the deception of consumers. The widgets were nothing but an extension of the same deception that Sitejabber was carrying out on its own website using the same deceptive ratings and on behalf of the same clients. I therefore concur in the Commission’s complaint and proposed consent order against Sitejabber. Dated: November 13, 2024. Armanda Matthews, Program Support Specialist, U.S. Agency for Global Media.
