A pair of YouTubers have avoided fines after the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) charged them with steering viewers to a CS:GO gambling site without disclosing that they owned it. Despite misleading viewers (including teenagers) and paying other YouTube personalities to do the same, Trevor "TmarTN" Martin and Thomas "Syndicate" Cassell don't even need to admit guilt, the commission ruled. "The goal of the FTC isn't to be a punitive or draconian agency," the FTC's Mitchell J. Katz told Rolling Stone. "We are here to educate consumers about new markets."
