    the FTC had failed to follow correct procedures and conduct an analysis before issuing the rule

    The FTC is free to issue this again. They need to do it in accordance with the law next time.

      industry associations and individual businesses […] argued the FTC had failed to follow correct procedures and conduct an analysis before issuing the rule. The judge panel has agreed with them.

      Three judges — two appointed by President Trump, one by President George H. W. Bush — found that the FTC’s rulemaking process was flawed and did not include early analysis of the rule’s possible economic effects. [1]

    This is the FTC’s rule, but nothing prevents each and every state from implementing a law to do the exact same thing, except slightly differently than every other state, making it extremely costly for the companies to implement.

    Well it’s good to know that the courts are willing to tell the executive they can’t do things. Shame about it only applying when the feds are helping ordinary people

    We literally cannot have even one nice thing in this country. You best start believin’ in cyberpunk dystopias… because you’re in one.
