Amazing all the newfound lawyers in the HN section here pointing out "loopholes" in the rule and then getting corrected by the next commenter.

The FTC continues to do the good, thankless work of making good public policy. I appreciate it.

I'm all for consumer protection, but I don't think this is in any way good policy or a good use of time. It's too granular and companies acting in bad faith will obviously continue. That's IF it's enforced and not challenged and thrown out by the fifth circuit or something.
