The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has reached a proposed consent agreement with Tapjoy, Inc. to resolve allegations of deceitful practices in its mobile gaming advertising platform. The FTC claims Tapjoy misled consumers by promoting false offers of in-app rewards that were often not delivered, causing harm to both gamers and game developers. The proposed order requires Tapjoy to prevent such deceptive practices by ensuring accurate reward representations and providing a clear method for consumers to report issues. The Commission has invited public comments on this proposal until February 12, 2021.
Simple Explanation
The FTC is saying that Tapjoy, a company with mobile game ads, tricked people by not giving out game rewards they promised. Now, they want Tapjoy to stop doing that and make it easy for people to say when there’s a problem, and they're asking people to tell them what they think about this idea until February 12, 2021.
