Amazon sued more than 10,000 Facebook group administrators in July 2022 for allegedly brokering fake reviews.

So how are they going to detect, proof, and enforce?

unclear (they don’t tend to announce enforcement mechanisms in these and it’s not a final rule until it’s a final rule), but it’s not like the FTC is lacking in power as an agency

Well, that is until the Chevron decision got knocked down.

Probably by taking down the companies doing it rather than the people using them. Just set up an account and ask around for where to buy some likes.

Does that counts as emtrapment?

Entrapment is enticing someone to do something they wouldn’t do otherwise.

If you ask someone where to buy drugs, and they give you the name of their dealer, you’re not entrapping the dealer since they normally sell drugs.
