FTC to Consider ISP Privacy Findings at Oct. 21 Meeting

The FTC will deliberate Oct. 21 whether to publicly share evidentiary findings from an agency study on the privacy practices of major ISPs, the commission announced Thursday. Publishing of the findings is subject to a commission vote. In 2019, the FTC issued Section 6(b) orders to AT&T, Comcast, Google Fiber, T-Mobile, Verizon and advertising affiliates. Staff will present study findings at the virtual open meeting, which is to begin at 1 p.m. EDT. Speaker registration and comments are due Monday.
