Japan has strict laws against using fake images for food.
Why can’t the people we vote for represent us?
Because we forgot how effective public lynchings can be.
When a certain saint allegedly shot a CEO dead on the street, there was a big surge in support. Sadly, no one else has followed suit.
A lot of people are sick of the ownership class ruining everything, and would cheer for spilled blood.
If someone shot the ceo of uber dead, people would celebrate. They’re all scum.
Well, someone did just follow suit.
I mean, the US has similar laws too. It just doesnt matter.
I did more research and you are correct.
15 U.S. Code § 52 - Dissemination of false advertisements - (a) Unlawfulness - It shall be unlawful for any person, partnership, or corporation to disseminate, or cause to be disseminated, any false advertisement—.
Okay. Good.
The term “false advertisement” means an advertisement, other than labeling, which is misleading in a material respect; and in determining whether any advertisement is misleading, there shall be taken into account (among other things) not only representations made or suggested by statement, word, design, device, sound, or any combination thereof, but also the extent to which the advertisement fails to reveal facts material in the light of such representations or material with respect to consequences which may result from the use of the commodity to which the advertisement relates under the conditions prescribed in said advertisement, or under such conditions as are customary or usual.
Good. Good.
if such violation is with intent to defraud or mislead, be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be punished by a fine of not more than $5,000 or by imprisonment for not more than six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment;
No! No! No! So a corporation can just pay $5,000 and throw a designer, who was only following directions, under a bus?!
Fees should be based on revenue and scale up on repeat offenses. Otherwise it’s just “the cost of doing business”
And this is how it should be with all monetary punishments.
Also, that’s $5000 in 1994 money (if not older).
Surely fines should scale with inflation.
Why can’t the people we vote for represent us?
That is easy (for the US at least). Politicians in the US doesn’t get elected by a majority.
Once an order has been received, merchants can then initiate real-time communications to clarify any special requests, check dietary or allergy requirements, or inform them of out-of-stock items to discuss alternatives.
They won’t though, because that takes time restaurant employees don’t have or they would be doing it already.
Hey look, false advertising, ai slop and shitty food porn all in one.
Great… more AI crammed into stuff just because.
Ridiculous, but it’s also like fast food commercials. If you think the meal you’re getting from Burger King will look anything like the commercial you saw, you might just also believe these AI Uber Eats menu photos.
Yeah, but people expect it to look like what’s supposed to be a picture of someone else’s…
That was literally the whole point of user uploaded pics, to see what you actually get
Now peoples expectations will be higher, and initially they’ll order when they wouldn’t have. But it won’t take many orders for someone to always feel disappointed and associate that with the app.
This is a very short term focused change, and it’s not gonna work out well
Effect No. 1: vendors gets review bombed with “looks nothing like what I ordered”.
Effect No. 2: Sales drop.
