More evidence the FTC is toothless
There have been proposals that the FTC is the right organization to ensure a neutral (open, fair, competitive, etc.)Internet.
In November 2006, Zango, which stealth-downloaded lureware, spyware and adware onto some 70 million computers without the computer owners' consent, were ordered by the FTC to stop that stuff.
But in a blog post dated July 31, 2007, harvard spyware researcher Ben Edelman demonstrates that Zango continues business as usual.
So if you're counting on the Federal Trade Commission to enforce the law -- even against slimeball spyware companies that no politician could possibly support -- count again!
