1. One way pharma companies block competition and inflate the cost of medicines is by filing bogus patent listings. Today @FTC challenged over 300 junk patent listings, including for blockbuster weight-loss & type 2 diabetes drugs Ozempic and Victoza. ftc.gov/news-events/ne…
1. Williams-Sonoma claimed its products were made in America even though they were made in China. A repeat violator, Williams-Sonoma will be required to pay a record penalty. ftc.gov/news-events/ne…

FTC takes action against bill payment company Doxo for misleading consumers, tacking on millions in junk fees: bit.ly/3w8L77H
1. Today @FTC issued a final rule banning noncompetes for workers across the country. The rule will ensure that Americans have the freedom to pursue a new job, start a new business, or bring a new idea to market. ftc.gov/legal-library/…
So great to join Congresswoman @janschakowsky, @ILAttyGeneral Raoul, and Illinois consumer protection advocates to share @FTC’s work tackling junk fees, subscription traps, and other predatory tactics that inflate costs for families and punish honest businesses.

1. @FTC recently announced the winners of its public Voice Cloning Challenge. As fraudsters use voice cloning to trick and extort Americans, the challenge sought out ideas from the public for how we can fight back against these predatory tactics. ftc.gov/news-events/ne…

For Americans struggling with addiction, privacy should not be price they need to pay for treatment. This is the fourth @FTC ban on the sale of health data for advertising. Other firms that mishandle Americans’ sensitive information should take note.
Writing and talking about #ArtificialInteligence is hard. That's why we're celebrating great #ReportingOnAI, like @FTC's Michael Atleson's winning excerpt on AI and #ConsumerTrust. Learn more in a new thought piece by Atleson's colleague @saalevine: ftc.gov/business-guida…

Jake Tapper had FTC Chair Lina Khan on to talk about the noncompete ban, and had to ask if his own noncompete was no longer valid. Khan says that when the ban takes effect, not only will new noncompetes be banned, but clauses like his will be rendered null and void.
All too often, airlines make passengers navigate a bureaucratic maze of corporate red tape just to get their money back when flights are cancelled or significantly delayed. Thanks to @USDOT's new rule, airlines will be obliged to automatically pay up.
Our department just issued rules to protect people from hidden airline fees and to require airlines to give passengers automatic cash refunds when owed. No more having to fend for yourself and jump through hoops to get your money back—airlines will have to automatically do this.
Our newest airline regulation is all about making refunds easier for passengers. When your flight is cancelled for any reason, you are entitled to an automatic cash refund. No haggling, no excuses.
Today at @LoyolaLaw I talked about a group of Irish American can labelers from Chicago, and two meat processing workers in Arkansas, and why it is so important that we stop mergers that hurt workers. ftc.gov/news-events/ne…
Today, the @FTC finalized a rule restricting companies from imposing non-compete clauses in worker contracts. This is a major step that will help millions of people enjoy greater liberty in their professional lives. ftc.gov/news-events/ne…
The @FTC's ban on #noncompete clauses makes sense for workers, the economy, and competition. Learn about this new rule in a breaking news @PowerAtWorkBlog blogcast featuring @FTC's Director Hannah Garden-Monheit and me. Watch now and leave a comment at poweratwork.us/ftc-vote-blogc…!
One of the key staff architects of the FTC’s rule banning noncompetes is Hannah Garden-Monheit. Check out her interview below 👀

FTC's non-competes ban is a huge victory for workers. The rule makes it illegal for your employer to stick these terms in the fine print of your contract that stop you from switching jobs. DOT strongly supports these protections.
1. Today @FTC issued a final rule banning noncompetes for workers across the country. The rule will ensure that Americans have the freedom to pursue a new job, start a new business, or bring a new idea to market. ftc.gov/legal-library/…
❤️❤️❤️
Too often, airlines drag their feet on refunds or rip folks off with junk fees. It's time Americans got a better deal. Today, my Administration is requiring that airlines provide automatic refunds to passengers when they're owed, and protect them from surprise fees.
Off to Chicago for Loyola’s antitrust colloquium. I’ll be giving a talk tomorrow at 1pm on the importance of looking at labor in merger analysis. This expose by @ninalakhani in @GuardianUS was a force in shaping my thinking. I urge you to read it. amp.theguardian.com/environment/20…
BREAKING: Airlines will now have to pay you when they mess up. The Department of Transportation has issued a new rule requiring airlines to give you an automatic refund if your flight is canceled or delayed or if they lose your bags. It’s a game changer for U.S. travel.
This is a great day for workers. The Biden Admin is on the side of working people.
BREAKING: The Department of Labor has raised the overtime threshold. The new rule says that everyone who makes under $58,656 and works over 40 hours a week must be paid time-and-a-half. That increases the threshold dramatically from $35,568. substack.perfectunion.us/p/the-departme…
@saalevine @FordhamLawNYC @FTC *You* honored us, Sam. What a treat. The @FTC's work is as important as ever. And we are excited to see you and the Commission use and recover all of the tools In its delegated authority to push back against today's novel consumer harms. Thanks.
@FordhamLawNYC was lucky and honored to host Sam Levine (@saalevine), @FTC consumer protection bureau director yesterday to give the Fourth Annual Reidenberg Lecture. He was warm, insightful, and engaging, as always. He also acknowledged Joel's substantial contributions.
In his speech at Fordham Law School, Samuel Levine, Director of FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection, discusses evolving privacy challenges and strategies for safeguarding consumer data in the digital age: bit.ly/3QvX7Y3 /1
.@FTC’s Office of Technology released a new Quote Book & Blog from the Tech Summit on AI on data and models. Panelists outlined that the methods of data collection and model development have implications for both competition and consumer protection: bit.ly/3U6oIzV /1
“If we really believe in democracy as a political system, we need to have commitments to giving people the material conditions and autonomy in their economic and social lives to be able to meaningfully participate.” It was great talking to students about public service.

Eid Mubarak to everyone honoring this holiday. May we all benefit from a renewed commitment to empathy, courage, and justice.
Thanks to @jonstewart for having me on to talk about @FTC’s work to lower the cost of asthma inhalers, the importance of holding corporate executives accountable for lawbreaking, and how monopolies can use their power to bully, coerce, and censor speech.
