nj.com, thenextweb.com, and others have articles about the Consumer Review Fairness Act of 2016, which President Obama signed into law Thursday.
The Consumer Review Fairness Act of 2016, sponsored by Rep. Leonard Lance (R-7th Dist.) and U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), would prevent non-disparagement clauses in agreements with patrons.
The Lance-Booker legislation was designed to let consumers post negative reviews on Yelp and other online sites without a company going after them. It would end the practice of businesses inserting provisions into the lengthy terms and conditions customers they face when booking or buying online.
"This law is about protecting consumers posting honest feedback online," Lance said. "Online reviews and ratings are critical in the 21st century and consumers should be able to post, comment and tweet their honest and accurate feedback without fear of retribution."
