People in this thread don't seem to understand how anti big business the FTC has been since Lina Khan was appointed. These reports are meant to be used by congress to help guide real policy. It's one thing to just assume social media is violating privacy, it's another thing to have a facts-based report on exactly what is currently happening.

Of course the FTC needs new laws to do any enforcement and there's probably not enough anti corporation politicians to pass laws that give them real teeth on data privacy issues.

Lina Khan actually takes action against companies unlike many of her predecessors.

The new-ish Federal Trade Commission head has been making a push to work on quite a few projects for the past couple of years. They have a very small resources and man-power compared to the war chests of multibillion dollar companies, but recently, somehow managed to bring charges against Google as a monopoly. This in my opinion is a good thing. I consider myself a social liberal and a fiscal conservative. I don’t like how our government seems to take the money of these companies and turn a blind eye as they do what they want in pursuit of the almighty dollar. I support her endeavors working for the interests of the majority of people and not those few with the most money.

Have you considered that the answers you seek may be in the article?
