    They were in the middle of anti trust lawsuits where they were going to force google to sell off chrome.

    Lina Khan had like 5 antitrust suits open against the biggest corporations in the US.

    She was appointed by Biden and fired by Trump

    This article is about a law they just made to make it as easy to cancel services as it is to sign up.

    So yeah they've been doing a lot recently

    The fact that you were unaware of what they do has no bearing on the massive amount of work they actually accomplish.

    They make plenty of anti-consumer decisions

    Out of curiosity, what do think were the three main things the FTC worked on last year?
