Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina M. Khan announced that an open meeting of the Commission will be held virtually on Thursday, September 19, 2024. The meeting will commence at 11 a.m. ET and will begin with time for members of the public to address the Commission.

The tentative agenda includes two main items:

Staff from the Bureau of Consumer Protection’s Division of Privacy and Identity Protection will update the Commission on its findings arising from the 6(b) orders issued in 2020 to study how social media and video streaming services’ data practices impact American consumers. Any report on these findings is subject to a Commission vote.

Additionally, staff from the Bureau of Consumer Protection’s Division of Advertising Practices will provide a presentation on the FTC’s Final Rule on the Use of Consumer Reviews and Testimonials. This rule aims to ensure that reviews are based on real experiences with products or services.

Chair Khan will offer brief remarks at the start of the meeting and then invite public feedback on the Commission’s work. Members of the public must sign up for an opportunity to address the Commission virtually at this event. Each commenter will have two minutes to share their comments. Those unable to participate during the event may submit written comments or a link to a prerecorded video through a webform by Tuesday, September 17, 2024, at 8 p.m. ET.

A link to view the meeting will be available shortly before it starts via FTC.gov. The event will be recorded, and both webcast and related comments will be available on the Commission’s website after the meeting.
