    I don’t think there’s any problems with doing it, as long as they aren’t claiming otherwise.

    If they lie about it it becomes fraud.

    Edit: And what are they going to do once asked on a public earnings call? Lie?

    Edit: Falsely posting stuff might also open up a can of worms around the site no longer being protected by being user generated content?
