FTC Enforcement Updates
Federal Trade Commission ramps up enforcement against illegal bribes and rebate schemes
The Federal Trade Commission has issued a report to Congress warning about the use of artificial intelligence to combat online problems, and as part of its efforts to protect consumers, the agency is ramping up enforcement against illegal bribes and rebate schemes that block patients' access to competing lower-cost drugs, as outlined on the Federal Trade Commission website. This move is part of the FTC's broader efforts to promote consumer protection and enforce civil antitrust law, with the agency sharing jurisdiction over federal civil antitrust law enforcement with other government bodies. For more information on the FTC's enforcement plans, including its warnings about AI-related scams and announcements of enforcement plans, consumers can visit the Federal Trade Commission press releases page. The FTC's actions are also part of a larger trend of increased enforcement against trade fraud, with the US Trade Fraud Task Force topping $1 billion in recent efforts.
