Question about Disclosure Policy (at the risk of sounding stupid)
- Rating: No Rating
Everyone seems to have this in their disclosure policy, but what exactly does it mean?
"This blog may contain content which could present a conflict of interest. This content may not always be identified"
I'm trying to imagine someone writing a review or writing about something that would be a conflict of interest to them...and can't come up with an example.
If anyone can help me understand this wording with an example I'd be grateful.

I'm not sure, but I think it means it could be a conflict of interest for the readers, but I'm not sure about the "This content may not always be identified". I've never used that disclosure in my blog.

It does refer to a conflict of interest to the reader and possibly a conflict with what the reader thought the blog was about. There are a lot of sponsored posts available for different stem cell treatments, for instance. It's a controversial topic and may not be what some readers want to read about, basically the blogger is not going to put a warning letting you know that a topic is controversial, especially if it's something they are behind.
Announce yourself!
