CFA Urges FTC to Seek Legal Reforms to Improve Its Ability to Meet 21st Century Consumer Protection Challenges

At the same time, however, the FTC should reiterate its calls for privacy and security legislation and work closely with members of Congress, consumer and privacy organizations, and far-sighted companies to gain meaningful legal reforms that will improve its ability to meet the competition and consumer protection challenges of the 21st century.
