State Attorneys General Could Bolster Data Privacy Framework After Supreme Court Ruling on FTC Independence

State Attorneys General Could Bolster Data Privacy Framework After Supreme Court Ruling on FTC Independence

Following the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in *President Trump v. Slaughter*, which found that a statutory protection limiting the President's ability to remove Federal Trade Commission (FTC) commissioners was unconstitutional, concerns have arisen regarding the independence of the FTC. This ruling means FTC commissioners are now removable by the President at will, potentially impacting the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). The European Commission's DPF adequacy decision had explicitly cited the statutory protection against removal as a basis for the FTC's independence. Bret Cohen, Partner, Privacy and Cybersecurity Practice at Hogan Lovells, and Julian Flamant, Senior Associate, Data, Privacy & Cybersecurity at Hogan Lovells Cadwalader, suggest that U.S. state attorneys general could provide an additional layer of institutional assurance for the DPF's long-term durability. They argue that state attorneys general possess consumer protection powers similar to the FTC, have developed considerable privacy ...

Competition Law Faces Limits in Addressing Political Power, National Security, and AI Safety Concerns

Competition Law Faces Limits in Addressing Political Power, National Security, and AI Safety Concerns

Competition law, traditionally focused on preventing economic monopolies and protecting consumer welfare, is increasingly being challenged to address broader issues such as political power, national security, and the safety implications of artificial intelligence. The article argues that while competition law is effective in managing economic power across various sectors, its instruments are not designed to measure or remedy political influence. For instance, an AI assistant used by millions can shape public debate, but competition law lacks mechanisms to address such political power directly. Similarly, national security and AI safety concerns often fall outside the scope of competition law and can even be in tension with its objectives. Governments might favor national champions or secure supply chains, which could lead to market concentration that competition law typically seeks to prevent. Recent developments, such as draft EU merger guidelines considering resilience and a proposed U.S. class action ag...
