Always has been
Good ol' greenwashing
It's called fraud. Luckily the criminals are incorporated, therefore the state will protect them.
Anything that isn't a government-regulated term or backed up by a trusted third-party organization is marketing.

told that computers would make us a paperless society and would save the trees

etc etc
