It comes and goes with various administrations unfortunately. Since we basically cant pass any law that eouod cost a company $1, it calls to these executive agencies to make quasi laws with previously legally granted power to get anywhere near sanity.
This FTC has been heavy hitting because the biden admin has been putting mostly serious people into these roles.
