This week, well-known privacy advocate Alvaro Bedoya is not happy.
““The president just illegally fired me. This is corruption plain and simple,” Bedoya, who was appointed [to the Federal Trade Commission] in 2021 by President Joe Biden and confirmed in May 2022, posted on X.
“He added, “The FTC is an independent agency founded 111 years ago to fight fraudsters and monopolists” but now “the president wants the FTC to be a lapdog for his golfing buddies.””
The other ousted FTC Commissioner, Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, had been appointed by…Donald Trump.
