The DETOUR Act empowers the FTC to do this, not the FCC. The FTC already has the responsibility of policing "unfair or deceptive acts or practices" and this is an extension of that.
The bill is 13 pages long. There are affordances for small businesses, this bill would only apply to "large online services" with 100 million users or more within a 30 day period. It seems to be a very thoughtfully written piece of legislation.

Edit: Alright I’ve read the first half, because I’m at lunch and would like to take the time this evening to really sit and pour over it: I concur with your assessment. This does seem to be well designed and thought out policy, and I could see myself actively supporting it versus my previous position of “no Federal involvement”. Point, humbly conceded. Thank you for the point of view change.
