What about just requiring companies to identify paid messaging (like political ads: “Paid for by XYZ”)? Obviously this doesn’t solve any messaging coming from overseas, but it at least helps with companies with an American presence astroturfing their own reviews etc.

Enforcement is the challenge. Without tracking down every reviewer, there is currently no way to determine whether a review was left by an employee of a covered/relevant company, or just a 'civilian.'

5% of revenue. Don't need to catch many, or often, to get the message across. The cost has to outweigh the risk. If it's still prevalent after 5 years, double it.

Don't take this as a serious criticism, but I look forward to the bizarro world where corporations compete to infiltrate and astroturf each other in ways that get their competitors fined into oblivion.
