ads aren't what makes the money anyway

make them publishers and there will be LIABILITY

the selling of data is

and they're not in trouble for that

and then the liability insurance won't make it WORTH hosting just anyone

it is not per contract law

While the EU may have the GDPR, expecting enforcement from the FTC is optimistic at best

the FTC doesn't understand how things work

the law move at 1/10th the speed of life

COPPA is America 4ding the EU and their world domination

EU thinks it's their weapon

it's not

and the internet moves 10000 x that fast

they are going to end up tanking the economy

which is kinda what the Dems want

e-commerce is a big thing

doing this in dec?

not a coincidence

@Spooky - They fund both outlets. Multi-billionaires that capitalize on media, period.

@ManAnimal the economy is way higher than it should be, a massive crash is imminent

Viewpoints are irrelevant to them

agreed

Trump is going to hold it back until he leaves office

he's smart like that

with that and the trade-war and now the FTC going after the very mechanism that has driven the economy, selling cheap good online from thrd parties

Trump strikes me more as someone who really doesn't care about it that much

it's a huges shit shit

@Mersenne lmao trump doesn't care about money? seriously?

If it negatively impacts business, he definitely doesn't give a shit.

FTC will remain an ineffective appendage during his tenure. Same goes for the FCC.

you don't seem to grasp how this shit works

the FTC isn't the police

they don't go after individuals

endgame is more important to him, the net Win as it were. Hes all about winning aka feeding the arrogance

they file big-time class action lawsuits on behalf of consumers

who's saying they do, @ManAnimal ?

all social media has been put on notice

@Spooky wah?

so all these companies are going to react by banning EVERYTHING

else the FTC will sue them out of business

FTC typically drops a lawsuit against a major corp, get's some paltry compensation, sprinkles across affected customers as plaintiffs.
