Today was the FTC’s Workshop, “The Dangers of ‘Gender-Affirming Care’ for Minors.” These are extremely important issues and I was happy to work with Chairman Ferguson @AFergusonFTC and Commissioner Meador @MeadorFTC on this Workshop. Here are my remarks: ftc.gov/news-events/ne…

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.

On USC’s beautiful campus, I really enjoyed speaking today at the USC Gould/Analysis Group Global Competition Law Thought Leadership Conference! Here is my speech on structural merger remedies: ftc.gov/news-events/ne…

It’s a beautiful day to remember those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom. 🇺🇸

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/…

Delighted to present at another GMU Law & Econ event. Professor James Cooper and I discussed privacy enforcement, the importance of economic analysis, and the proper use of the FTC’s unfairness authority.

It was a pleasure to present at the CPG Legal Forum and share my views about the FTC’s Green Guides, environmental marketing claims, and AI-generated advertising.

I had a lively discussion with Judge Ginsburg about FTC antitrust enforcement and priorities at the Scalia Law Annual Antitrust Symposium. We discussed the FTC’s work to combat Big Tech’s unlawful censorship. We also explored ways to promote competition and innovation in the AI…
