This seems like an unambiguously good rule change from the FTC. Maybe the government got one right for a change.
This just makes me suspicious. The government doing something right instead of royally fucking it up must mean there's some nefarious motive behind it that we just haven't seen yet.
Acts of good will are not in the government's wheelhouse.
Political PR with the populace still has to happen, they'll throw a bone out every now and then if it doesn't cost them much.
Besides, who would volunteer all that sweet lobbying money if they didn't make an example out of someone every now and then?
