My pet theory is this is firing a shell across the bow of BigCorp. Telling them change is coming. Maybe this won’t pass, but be prepared to be held more account

- elliekelly 8y agoThe FTC already has quite a lot of authority over privacy regulations (in the financial sector at least) and does next to nothing with that authority. They spend zero time affirmatively looking into regulatory compliance and only take (very limited) action after receiving numerous reports about egregious violations. I suspect this far more of a "look at how much we're helping consumers" that will add some teeth to the few enforcement actions they do pursue but won't do much by way of removing their head-in-the-sand approach to consumer privacy.
