    Unfortunately, as a governmental regulatory agency, the FTC can do absolutely nothing now without specific instructions from Congress. Thanks SJC!!

      And depending on the results of the upcoming election the FTC may no longer exist afterwards anyways.

    The article talks about popups and other notifications. I personally have been getting a bunch of emails about policy changes. I don’t see how that’s in any way “quietly”.

      But are those notifications and pop ups directly saying something like “from now on we will start to train ai on your information”?

      Or is is one of the hundredth change of terms and conditions that people usually just skip, which mentions the major change in some fine print. Or a pop up designed with dark patterns to influence people into just accepting without actual informed consent?
