re: #64 MandyManners

Like many other Western countries, France requires health warnings on tobacco and alcohol and similar labels on processed food containing genetically modified ingredients. France’s regulators are also notoriously tough on marketing campaigns that make false product claims. Now some French legislators want to take consumer protection to an unprecedented level, requiring that advertisements, product labels and even campaign posters carry a warning when they feature a photograph that’s been digitally enhanced.

Nanny state!

Maybe. I would like to see a similar law here in this country for airbrushed or digitally enhanced celebrity photos. Imagine how much better ordinary people would feel if every single image of Heidi Klum or Tom Cruise carried a little advisory that “this image does not accurately depict a real person”!
