In recent years, the FTC has regulated non-HIPAA-covered health information through rulemaking and enforcement, treated browsing data as sensitive information, and consistently criticized interest-based advertising as a form of illicit surveillance. With a shift to a Republican majority, what changes can we expect? Will a new Republican-led Commission resolve the FTC’s ambitious privacy rulemaking agenda? And will privacy enforcement remain a top priority?

When the officeholder changes, often so do the priorities of the office (even for changes within a party). Therefore, staying informed about state AG election winners can be helpful for businesses as they determine their own priorities for 2025 and beyond.

On October 18, 2024, the Anti-Robocall Multistate Litigation Task Force (Task Force), comprised of 51 bipartisan State AGs, released a [notice letter](https://www.azag.gov/sites/default/files/2024-10/State%20AG%20Task%20Force%20NOTICE%20Letter%20to%20IDENTIDAD%20%28Oct%202024%29.pdf) outlining concerns that a Florida-based company was ​“transmitting suspected illegal robocall traffic on behalf of one or more of its customers” and cautioning that the company ​“should cease transmitting any illegal traffic immediately.” The letter, which was addressed to iDentidad Advertising Development LLC dba iDentidad Telecom (iDentidad), is illustrative of the collaboration not only among State AGs, but also with federal agencies and private industry, on the issue of robocalls.
