Man, fuck off with that attitude. This isn’t like Biden trying to score points on his way out or the Trump report getting released, the FTC did a ton of good shit the past few years and stuff takes time. They’re rushing all this at the last minute because they have to.
The more they push through, the more time the next admin has to spend dealing with it. I’m sure they know a ton of it will get rolled back but…all of it? Maybe not. Inundating them is all they can do now.
I would have liked to see this sooner but most (all?) of the other issues they tackled were more important than this one
What did they actually accomplish? All the anti-trust stuff has just been tied up in courts for years and years. And they gave Apple a pass on their Epic lawsuit, which is a fucking travesty.
There’s been a lot but I don’t blame you for not following them. However, I’m surprised you haven’t even heard about the “popular” ones like killing junk fees and one-click canceling of services.
I definitely remember those things being proposed. I don’t remember them going into effect. Hence the “actually accomplished”. I also remember several companies launching lawsuits to stall the progress. The document you provided says “launched a crackdown on deceptive ‘junk fees’”, not “implemented legislation that banned junk fees”. And “Proposed (not implemented) new ‘click to cancel’ rules”.
With the incoming administration that work is certain to be abandoned. Not saying they didn’t try, just that they weren’t able to be efficient enough to be effective.
…I’m honestly at a complete loss as to what you’re talking about. How what works? What is it you think is happening here? What is it you think I’m lying about?
