The Blog of LegalTimes:  “Bloggers of the world, relax – the Federal Trade Commission is not out to get you.  That was the message from Mary Engle, associate director for advertising practices at the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection.   In a conference call for reporters today, Engle aimed to set the record straight after a flurry of news stories (not to mention blogs and tweets) about the FTC’s new advertising guidelines that were, as she put it, ‘all wrong.  We are not going to be patrolling the blogosphere,’ she said. ‘We are not planning on investigating individual bloggers.'”
