Modified Facebook Whitelisting. The brand may provide content for me to post with the brand added as a collaborator. This allows the brand to use my handle, making the ads appear more authentic and native to my feed rather than from the brand’s own page. Due to the type of account I have, I cannot grant direct posting permission, but I can use your verbatim copy or add my own humorous voice to your message. Modified whitelisted Facebook content will be marked with FTC appropriate hashtags or disclaimers. Up to one post per week provided by you.
