As targeted
advertising is increasingly scrutinized by regulators and the industry alike, a greater emphasis has been placed on educating consumers
about their privacy choices on the Internet and providing them with the right to opt in or out of targeted advertising. The common thread
throughout both targeted advertising and the FTC requirements described in detail in the section “Business - Government Regulation”
is the increased importance placed on transparency between the marketer and the consumer to ensure that consumers know the difference
between “information” and “advertising” on the Internet and are allowed to decide how their personal information
will be used in the manner to which they are marketed. There is a risk regarding negative consumer perception of the practice of “undisclosed
compensation” of social media users to endorse specific products. As described in the section “Business - Government Regulation,”
we undertake various measures through controls across our platforms and by monitoring and enforcing our code of ethics and the guidelines
contained in the services agreements we execute with our creators, to ensure that marketers and creators comply with the FTC’s
Endorsement Guide (and analogous laws and guidance in other countries) when utilizing our websites, but if competitors and other companies
do not, it could create a negative overall perception for the industry. Not only will readers stop relying on social media and blogs
for useful, timely, and insightful information that enriches their lives by having access to up-to-the-minute information that often
bears different perspectives and philosophies, but a lack of compliance will almost inevitably result in greater governmental oversight
and involvement in an already-highly regulated marketplace. A pervasive overall negative perception caused by a failure of our preventative
measures or by others not complying with the FTC’s Endorsement Guide (among the FTC’s other acts, regulations, and policies,
and analogous laws and guidance in different countries) could result in reduced revenue and results of operations and higher compliance
costs for us.

(“Privacy Laws”), as described in the section “Business - Government Regulation.” Privacy Laws are evolving and
subject to potentially differing interpretations. The EU’s GDPR requires companies to satisfy stricter requirements regarding the
