is it the wild wild west?

i just went to visit the ftc marketing guidelines website http://business.ftc.gov/advertising-...-and-marketing
and got that message that the FTC is CLOSED due to government shut down, and that users CAN NOT file complaints or file do not call registry entries, among other things, during this downtime.


hmm, does this mean we are free to do whatever the hell we want at this time?

it doesn't say anything about complaints being filed the second they open

yeah but who knows when that would be? and it gives plenty of time to make any adjustments to your pages to make them compliant again.

It's a trap...

The Fed's think U.S.A. population is retarded. Think about it. You go to a federal website and it servers up a page that says "This website is not availible due to Gov. Shutdown" The server serving that page is still online running being paid for.

No Wild west, they will still nail offenders to the walll.

Question: Do you think the federal gov. leases it's servers by the day? I sure as hell don't

This B.S. about taking the websites down is laughable. They have long term leases that are being paid for rgardless of the shutdown.
