FTC Extends Comment Deadline for Privacy Rulemaking to Nov. 21

The FTC extended the deadline for comments on the agency’s advance notice of proposed rulemaking on commercial surveillance and data security until Nov. 21 (see 2208190031 and 2210130079). The commission voted 4-0-1, with Commissioner Christine Wilson abstaining. “Mass surveillance has heightened the risks and stakes of data breaches, deception, manipulation, discrimination, and other abuses,” the agency said Friday.
