I was honored to present this morning with E.U. Ambassador to the U.S. Jovita Neliupšienė at the World Trade Center Utah (WTC Utah) board meeting where I discussed E.U.-U.S. cooperation in fulfilling the FTC’s mission of promoting competition and protecting consumers.

It was an honor to give the opening keynote at @the_IAPP Global Privacy Summit. I shared my priorities for FTC privacy enforcement, and how the agency can better promote innovation and competition.

This type of conduct, if true, is extremely alarming. The FTC wants to hear from tech platform users who have been banned, shadow banned, demonetized, or otherwise censored. regulations.gov/docket/FTC-202…

I had the honor of a lifetime last week when I delivered the convocation speech at my alma mater—the University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law. Congrats to the class of 2025!

Beautiful day at the White House with Andrew Ferguson and Mark Meador for the signing of the TAKE IT DOWN Act. Thank you to First Lady Melania Trump for championing this important legislation to protect Americans from revenge porn and other illicit images. FTC is committed to enforcing it.

The FTC’s Robinson-Patman complaint against Pepsi was a colossal mistake. Today, we have dismissed the complaint, allowing our dedicated staff to focus on legitimate enforcement actions that protect consumers. ftc.gov/legal-library/…

Last week, I represented the U.S. at the G7 Privacy Roundtable. Canada was a gracious host and we had productive discussions regarding children’s privacy, collaboration on shared enforcement priorities, and privacy issues relating to quantum computing and AI.

The FTC and Utah took action against Pornhub and others for deceiving users about child sexual abuse material and non-consensual material on their websites. The world should take note that the FTC will use all of its tools to protect children online. tinyurl.com/mu98uyxx

Yesterday, I was delighted to announce the FTC and Utah’s important action against Pornhub in the Utah State Capitol where I was joined with former colleagues and friends. Utah was a tremendous state partner in this fight against child sexual abuse material.

AI has the potential for tremendous opportunities. We must prepare and protect our children for this moment. The FTC launched a comprehensive 6(b) study to learn valuable information about children’s and teens’ use of companion chatbots. ftc.gov/system/files/f…

🤝 The DPC met with US Federal Trade Commissioner Melissa Holyoak today at the Global Global Privacy Assembly in Seoul. Protecting the privacy of children online remains a priority on both sides of the Atlantic.

I was honored to present on the Trump/Vance FTC’s recent enforcement actions protecting children’s privacy at the Global Privacy Assembly in Seoul. The PIPC of Korea was an excellent host in their beautiful city. Children’s privacy will remain a top priority for the FTC.

No one at the FTC will ever tell you to withdraw your money and give it to someone. FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson and Commissioners Melissa Holyoak and Mark Meador share advice on how to avoid FTC impersonator scams: bit.ly/3VWrcC9
