    Shocking news: big corporations attempt to manipulate government bodies to avoid regulation.

    Shocking news: big corporations attempt to manipulate government bodies to avoid regulation.

    Khan’s confirmation to the FTC and appointment to lead the agency presents one of the clearest threats of major regulatory action in the tech sector in years.
