Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
False
Before the 1970s, comparative advertising was allowed only if the competing brand was veiled and unidentified. In 1971, however, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) fostered the growth of comparative advertising by stating that the advertising provides information to the customer and that advertisers are more skillful than the government in communicating this information.
