The webinar will feature Kelley Drye’s Jessica Rich and Aaron Burstein, both former FTC officials. Here’s a taste of what we’ll be discussing, building on the commentary we have posted in this blog over the past few months: All eyes are on the FTC this year, given its recent actions, setbacks, and ambitious plans for 2022. As we’ve reported [here](https://www.adlawaccess.com/2021/10/articles/ftc-chair-khans-vision-for-privacy-competition-and-big-tech-and-some-dissents/), Chair Lina Khan has announced an aggressive privacy agenda, that includes new regulations; emphasis on the large platforms and other ​“gatekeepers” in the marketplace; stringent enforcement remedies (such as data deletion, bans on conduct, strict consent requirements, and individual liability); and significant monetary relief based on a range of [creative theories](https://www.adlawaccess.com/2021/11/articles/post-amg-scorecard-the-ftc-pivots-to-other-statutory-bases-for-monetary-relief/#more-9985). Khan has already taken steps in this direction, including by issuing a [policy statement](https://www.adlawaccess.com/2021/09/articles/health-and-fitness-apps-and-iot-technologies-should-take-note-ftc-expands-interpretation-of-its-health-breach-notification-rule/) and guidance reinterpreting the Health Breach Notification Rule; announcing a ramp-up against [subscription services](https://www.adlawaccess.com/2022/02/articles/dark-patterns-a-new-legal-standard-or-just-a-catchy-name-part-two/) that use [​“dark patterns”](https://www.adlawaccess.com/2021/10/articles/ftc-to-increase-enforcement-on-subscription-services/) to trick consumers into signing up; tightening requirements under the Gramm-Leach Bliley [Safeguards Rule](https://www.adlawaccess.com/2021/11/articles/glba-safeguards-gets-a-makeover-why-it-matters-for-businesses-with-customer-information/); and making strong demands in consent negotiations. In addition, she has announced plans to initiate privacy rulemakings under the FTC’s so-called ​“Magnuson-Moss” authority, including a rulemaking to limit [​“surveillance”](https://www.adlawaccess.com/2021/12/articles/what-rulemaking-is-the-ftc-planning-for-2022-now-we-know/) in the commercial marketplace. All of this takes place against the backdrop of recent setbacks and ongoing challenges faced by the agency. Last year, the Supreme Court’s ruled in [AMG](https://www.adlawaccess.com/2021/04/articles/supreme-court-finds-section-13b-of-the-ftc-act-does-not-allow-for-monetary-remedies/) that the FTC cannot obtain monetary relief under Section 13(b) of the FTC Act, it’s chief law enforcement tool. For years, Congress has declined to pass a federal privacy law to strengthen the FTC’s authority in this area. The FTC has limited resources to fulfill its broad mission. And it cannot obtain civil penalties for most first-time law violations. We will dive into these issues and more in our upcoming webinar, focusing on the practical impact for companies subject to FTC’s jurisdiction.
