    That’s not the FCC people need, which needs to be able to deal with companies taking advantage of consumers (e.g. putting on illegal stickers that say “warranted void if removed”).

      You’re thinking of the FTC (Federal Trade Commission).

      FCC governs broadcast media (TV, radio, airwave everything else).
