More about me: I’m a lawyer and full time YouTuber. I’ve had several meetings with the FTC about this issue, and I have upcoming meetings scheduled. I’m just wanting to let creators know more about what’s going on, and explain what we can do to make a difference.
None of this is meant to be legal advice. I’m no longer actively practicing law.
