Re:Has web 2.0 made lying to users acceptable?

sure, the poster seems to be under the impression that lying to get business is something new in web 2.0, and these black hat SEO strategies, teasing consumers, puffing up businesses to look bigger than they are etc are something unique to web 2.0. i posted to share that this is not a web 2.0 phenomena, and once again it's just the net reflecting existing things.
it is our wisdom, good will and such that pushes politics to be less coercive and capitalism to be less exploitative while getting by but to be very successful at either requires the opposite.
which is all to say, the fundamental architectures of our societies are designed against us.
let me know if you find a solution :)
