Raises quite a few issues about conflict of interests. Should there be a rule for such declarations by writers who are paid to promote brands ?



The FTC does have governance over endorsements and testimonials. Not sure that it applies completely here. The trouble comes when you start talking about people and companies outside of the US. International law for bloggers or journalists seems like a difficult situation to say the least.
