There are so many things like this that have needed fixing for such a long time. The fact that something is happening, even slowly, is so heartening.

If your reaction is wondering if this is legal then you should be interested in the passing of new laws that make it unequivocally legal. Society should be able to govern itself.

Came to say this too, basically. The FTC is currently a bright candle in the swamp.

I think we need a word for this work. Maybe disenshittification? :)

I doubt it will stay that way if Trump gets a 2nd term.

fwiw JD Vance has voiced support a few times for keeping Lina Khan who is pushing a lot of this agenda.

It's not worth the bits this line was printed to screen with.

Trump will do away with the FTC because it stands in the way of their goal of dismantling the executive administration. The only thing JD Vance supports about keeping Lina Khan is keeping her captured and institutionally bound so she cannot bring legislation forward against their agenda as a citizen.
