The FTC’s decline is a symptom of a public policy designed primarily to protect asset prices.

They cannot stop a determined majority from working its will in rulemaking or enforcement, & Trump’s functionaries are definitely determined.🚨Whatever policies are deemed to be damaging to capital markets will be softened, whether through special exemptions or the free hand to consol, as the #FTC has ensured.

What a waste of time.

For an agency that has located its effectiveness in its independent ability to adapt to new forms of unfair and deceptive practice, this performative, nakedly political persecution of trans people is a low point.

Who could justify continuing to work there?

At this point, "going along to get along" or imagining you might be able to "do good from within" looks like rationalized complicity in an agency that is hurting people.

Today I learned that retailers who use Shopify and Loox have tricks to deceive customers. (1) Shop owners can pack positive reviews at top of displayed reviews. Only 10 featured reviews allowed but if you have 10 products that means the first several pages of reviews will be 100% positive and you are not told they are featured. (2) Shop owners can disable the ability to "sort by review rank." (3) Shop owners can hide review distribution. Sneaky. #shopify #loox #reviews #ftc #ethics #commerce #business
