"a slap on the wrist" by a consumer association is not the same as a legal condemnation. (I'm assuming the "consumer association" is not a regulator, but just a bunch of people coming together.) It's useful for the consumer, and is supposedly part or the normal "immune system" of a free market. However, the "legal" part has to be handled by regulators, following laws enacted by lawfully elected representatives. This part is being slashed by lawfully elected executives (in part) and by unelected "advisors". One of whom is actively doing things that should get him prosecuted. Also, I hope the consumer protection association is not depending on any kind of public funding - otherwise, I hope their website doesn't use banned words like "diverse".
