Change Is Afoot at the Newly Revitalized FTC
A newly invigorated FTC is taking a much more activist position on a range of issues, potentially including local.
- The FTC has taken steps to speed rule-making and identified new enforcement priorities for the next decade. The agency is taking a much more activist approach than in the past.
- Priorities include pursuing harms against workers and SMBs, and enforcement against illegal mergers – both present and past.
- An open question is whether the under-resourced agency pursues review and listings fraud or whether those issues are overshadowed by things like antitrust.
