He is trying to imply there is some legal authority behind Google's stance on paid links. The United States Government formally disclaims links as endorsements, so the FTC policy on endorsements does NOT apply to paid links. Matt should discontinue these deceptive practices immediately and permanently, as he is not doing Google any favors by trying to trick Webmasters into thinking that Google has the weight of law on its side.
