the FTC had failed to follow correct procedures and conduct an analysis before issuing the rule

The current ftc doing something constructive?

Most likely situation is that this will not happen now, or years from now

This was their last chance to do anything before they’re gutted. Guess we deal with the wave of bullshit now.

industry associations and individual businesses […] argued the FTC had failed to follow correct procedures and conduct an analysis before issuing the rule. The judge panel has agreed with them.

Three judges — two appointed by President Trump, one by President George H. W. Bush — found that the FTC’s rulemaking process was flawed and did not include early analysis of the rule’s possible economic effects. [1]

We literally cannot have even one nice thing in this country. You best start believin’ in cyberpunk dystopias… because you’re in one.

I wonder if replying to a “do not reply” email 1000 times a second would have any ill effect in their servers.

Just for that I’m going to put things in my Amazon and eBay accounts and just keep swapping stuff without buying anything for weeks at a time.

So per the latest Supreme Court ruling, this only applies to that explicit case then, right?.... Right?
