I also strongly encourage people to read the dissent at https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/public_statements/1584154/dissenting_statement_of_commissioner_noah_joshua_phillips_regarding_social_media_and_video_streaming.pdf https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/public_statements.... Of particular interest is that the reason why only 9 companies were targeted is that if they had targeted 10 or more, they would have have a mandatory review under the paperwork reduction act. A review that would have almost certainly said they couldn't ask for most of what they asked for in the way that they asked for it. On this logic and this logic alone, companies like Apple, Gab, GroupMe, LinkedIn, Parler, Rumble, and Tumblr were not targeted. Think about that.
