Starting April 1, advertising for “free credit reports” will require new disclosures to help consumers avoid confusing “free” offers – which often require consumers to spend money on credit monitoring or other products or services – with the no-strings-attached credit reports available at AnnualCreditReport.com, or 877-322-8228.

The Federal Trade Commission’s Free Credit Reports Rule will require new prominent disclosures in advertisements for “free credit reports.” For example, any Web site offering free credit reports must include a disclosure, across the top of each page that mentions free credit reports, which states:

THIS NOTICE IS REQUIRED BY LAW. Read more at FTC.GOV.
You have the right to a free credit report from AnnualCreditReport.com
or 877-322-8228, the ONLY authorized source under federal law.

The Web site disclosure must include a clickable button to “Take me to the authorized source” and clickable links to AnnualCreditReport.com and FTC.GOV.

FTC Amends Free Credit Reports Rule To Help Consumers Steer Clear of ‘Free’ Offers that Cost Money

so after reading this i'm figuring this is like similar to the disclosure size that freecreditreport.com has on their front page, about annualcreditreport.

here's FTC's examples they've provided:

Actually it's not that big of a deal, it just requires a new type of landing page: the consumerist

has to be on every page, not just the lander..

The Commission is particularly concerned with the data suggesting that the separate
landing page, as proposed, would cause consumer confusion. Indeed, based on the comments
submitted, the Commission is persuaded that the separate landing page, which would not be in
close proximity to the relevant claims, has the potential to confuse consumers and create
suspicion about the legitimacy of the disclosure in this context.118 Because the very purpose of
section 205 of the Act and the amendments to section 610.2 of the original Rule is to reduce such
confusion, the Commission has determined to eliminate the separate landing page in favor of a
prominent disclosure on the website page(s) where the free credit report claim appears, as well
as on each page of the ordering process.119
 
Wow, this is some shit. I guess it's the government's job to protect people from idiots by taking our tax money to pay for a credit report instead and giving it out for "free".
 
Since its on April 1st must be an April fool Joke from the FTC. Im sure that page is going to convert like crazy for annualcreditreport.com. And all these credit report agency cant do anything about this
 
Seriously? Fuck that's large.

I figured credit reports would be next in the sites of the FTC though.
