Congressional Leaders Should Oppose & Investigate Unlawful Firings at FTC
Today, CDT signed a letter urging Congressional leaders to oppose and investigate the President’s unlawful firings of the Democratic Federal Trade Commissioners.
From the letter:
The FTC plays a vital role in safeguarding American consumers, with a bipartisan history of protecting the public from harm, including elder fraud, children’s privacy violations, and deceptive advertising. The Commission is also essential in maintaining fair competition, preventing monopolistic practices, and fostering a marketplace where innovation and consumer choice can thrive. Without an independent FTC, corporations would face fewer barriers to exploiting individuals through practices like intrusive data collection and AI-driven manipulation.
