My thoughts exactly.

I agree that companies should to have the freedom to be able to test markets to optimise their systems designs (free trade is important), but surely a multi-billion-dollar company can use a real business and spend a little extra dough to test their system without breaking the law. This seems lazy, and legally it should be investigated.

And this doesn't look good for their brand either, now that we live in an age of 'fake ads' swinging entire US elections.
