Going beyond the headline there are three things in this article:

1) FTC chairman says AI agents will be treated just like any other tool (“resist anthropomorphizing”)

2) Studying enforcement of rules around personalized (“surveillance”) pricing, specifically rideshare, airplanes and food delivery

3) Public comment period open now on new rule to punish companies like Meta and Google that advertise scams.

The last one seems closest to happening but it’s still just a public comment period so it might die.

Didn't meta make $10B in 2025 by scammers using their AI tools to scam our parents? Don't worry guys, meta will just lobby and bribe everyone to keep that revenue. Also don't worry about giving their new ai assitant full access to your bank account and credit cards email phone etc. nothing bad will happen
