I'm a long-time user of free/open source software, and write various things for both fun and profit. I don't take myself all that seriously and I do all of my own stunts.
You can find me at these fine establishments on the web: Open Source Musings, The Monday Kickoff, Weekly Musings. and The Plain Text Project.

That sounds interesting. Would you be interested in writing an article about that for Opensource.com? If you are, you can learn more about how to do that on this page.
You're reading between a lot of lines that aren't there. The text of the article, which was written by the Opensource.com staff (and maybe should have been credited that way), is an intro to Lin Sun's lightning talk at All Things Open in October, 2018.
The only mention of IBM in that talk was when Lin introduced herself and on the first of her slides -- which identified her and her employer (something that's common for presenters to do). At no point did Lin promote IBM; she only talked about Istio. Yes, I was there to watch the talk live.
Wait, and this is OPENSOURCE.COM??? Really? IBM has already jumped on this and started advertising their own crap to the RH crowd?
No advertising happened. And, anyway, isn't Istio a project that Red Hat started? One that was released before the merger with IBM was announced?
Doesn't that violate more than a couple of 'review laws'??
What review laws are you talking about? And since the video isn't a review but rather an overview, none of that applies.
Next time, please watch the video before you jump to a conclusion.
