What is Sharewashing?

 , May 02, 2017
Sharewashing is the use of sharing economy terminology to market a regular commercial service. For example, a firm may imply that services are peer-to-peer when they are really transacted through a centralized service controlled by a single firm. Such a firm may have a regular ecommerce business model but use sharewashing as a marketing tool or to imply they are not subject to a particular set of laws and regulations.
