    What stops them from doing it again?

    What stops other busunesses from carrying on until their caught? No one is in jail.

      Escalating enforcement? Why do you think the FTC can’t add fines/jail time now that they have set strict rules?

      Should the FTC have fined/jailed the company execs before it made its policy clear to at least one example like Xmode?

        I’m not American but my understanding is the FTC has been toothless for 30 years.

          It comes and goes with various administrations unfortunately. Since we basically cant pass any law that would cost a company $1 now, it falls to these executive agencies to make quasi laws with previously legally granted power to get anywhere near sanity.

          This FTC has been heavy hitting because the biden admin has been putting mostly serious people into these roles.
