The disclosure of the sponsorship may enhance transparency in this regard to consumers. However, it is unethical and inconsistent to allow licensees to pay for and, in so doing, influence the content of the “review”, while giving the consumer the impression that the “review” is a genuine reflection of the writer’s or presenter’s personal experience (when there is in fact underlying commercial interest).
