Snake Oil in the 21stCentury

This article questions the legality of issues that fall
into the gray-area of the law in regards to misrepresentation
as exemplified by the distortion of results
from a lack of publishers and researchers willing to
publish negative results, ineffectual disclaimers in
social media content, the fine line between what is
legally permissible and legally questionable advertising,
and more. This article will be focusing on the
many ways that misrepresentation exists in a myriad
of fields and the methods by which they are currently
being addressed, or not addressed. The article will
also discuss the historical background, current situation,
and future implications of these methods.
