[applause] that's the team i want on my side. one of the key things i've asked the council to tackle are the unfair fees known as junk fees. those hidden charges that companies sneak into your bill to make you pay more because they can. simply because they can. taking real money out of the pockets of american families. these junk fees can add up to hundreds of dollars, weighing down family budgets, making it harder to pay bills. these junk fees matter to the wealthy. they matter to working folks in homes like the one i grew up in. i think about the way so many of you at home talk about it around the kitchen table. how much are yo

commission, said: "criminals have many tricks to find their identity. they can easily create a fake persona and deceive users." according to the federal trade commission one in four people who reported losing money to fraud in 2020 cited social media as the source of the fraud. this report indicates that most cases of fraud have occurred on social networks regarding the purchase of clothes and electronics. 2:00 am next part thank you for your support. we can see many restaurants, houses and markets that are almost empty and the traffic in this city, which is considered very vital , has stopped. we will shoot, do you have the ability to intercept and destroy them? for the first time , we reveal on camera that we had information on alternative approaches and policies in order to maintain our superiority to counter the invasion and defeat the enemy at the same time. let's disrupt their plans and make it worse. were israel's calculations and hopes wrong in this battle? 28 ramadan 1442 according to may 10, 2021. the battalions of qasm have started operation shamshir al-quds and made the city of al-quds and tel aviv the target of a missile

you imposed robust reporting obligations on the federal communications commission. you could impose those kinds of update mandates on d.o.j. to let you all know what they're doing. we also suggest they can have funds, and you can direct that. we also suggest a robocall enforcement and education office. right now at the department i think much of their robocall effort is housed under an elder justice initiative. that's important obviously but they can do more. i think congress can really look into that and impress upon them that this is a priority. >> to me this focus on enforcement really is two-pronged. we wan to make sure that the government is going after the bad actors and we want to avoid opening up legitimate actors to frivolous lawsuits. abusive litigation does nothing to stop criminals. would you provide examples of tcpa filings you view as litigation abuse? >> certainly, thank you. unfortunately there are a lot. i commend tork that the chambers institute for legal reform has done. they've had several one example that stuck out to me recently, the city of al

we're going to hear from amber, a federal trade commission lawyer, steve at the better business bureaud kay, a fake review crusader. kay spent five years investigating fake reviews. she says scrutinize the account that wrote the review. watch out for signs someone is paying them to post those reviews. here's a tell. posting multiple reviews for places all around the country all on the same day. tip two, look for rip-off reviews. kay says word for word copycats are exploding and businesses that do that shouldn't be trusted. checking to see if a review is a duplicate is easy. first, take the text. >> highlight it. >> copy it. then paste it. >> put it in a google search. see if you find a copycat. people often copy the photos too. let's spot check an image. it's as easy as right click in google chrome. if that same image is being used in other reviews, it's worth asking yourself, is this authentic? amber, the federal lawyer, says hunt for intel. >> our best advice is to take the time to look at multiple sources. >> tip three, check the company's history. snap this qr code. it will take yo

the commissioner of the federal commission off of jewish life, and mr. klein was here as well today. and he is, he emphasized about feeling time and again that is germany's to start responsibility to israel and to the jewish people following and the holocaust you know, so i think this will be, remember this, this generally will take this seriously from what i've heard today. and that's what we are going to look at going forward. thanks a lot, emily, i'm going to go team and buddy. now i have a couple of, it's is a political analyst and john list based in jerusalem, asked him about reports of attempts to negotiate for the freedom of a kidnapped his writings. a little less report about come us yesterday was that it rejected the idea of negotiations. today we're already hearing reports about as well, trying to negotiate through egypt. i see monetary and sort of deals with change women for women and miners for children that are health hosted within the gotten strict, it's unclear right now how possible this deal will be, but it's definitely something that seems to at least be at the begi

which had the federal trade commission to have rules to crack down. and they have stopped the practices for most, but robocallers remain a plague on our telephone system. my constituents in massachusetts received over 623 million robocalls last year, nearly 20 robocalls per second. this year massachusetts residents are on pace to receive 800 million robocalls. across the country on pace to receive 54 billion robocalls this year. some robocalls are lawful, but of course, the numbers of unlawful calls are astonishing. to each of the witnesses, starting with miss saunders, do you agree that robocalls remain a serious problem for our consumers? yes or no. >> yes. >> miss brown. >> unlawful and illegal robocalls, yes. >> mr. bercu. >> yes, illegal robocalls remain a problem. >> yes, absolutely. >> thank you. these fraudulent robocalls cost consumers tens of billions of dollars every year and undermine trust in the telephone system, that's a serious problem period. and i want to turn to one ticklement of the trace act. the law directed the fcc to require th

the federal trade commission addressing scams using robo calls and text. state attorneys general partner with agencies and bring their own cases. d.o.j. is a vital partner in congress should urge the department to make enforcement priority by acting aggressively on referrals to get and bring its own cases directly for violations of laws like the truth caller id act would mail and firefox will agree to scams. third unfortunately, the private right of action and statutory damages continue to fuel negation against american businesses. the institute for legal reform for years and operating environment continues to hurt businesses and consumers. class actions seeking enormous damages and attorneys fees, professional plaintiffs and rushing blankly for mistakes creates an environment for american businesses. the class actions do not address that actions byts letting autobg present millions of illegal calls. here i have always calls for additional.c legislation. congress has been active for several years since chambers against medicos forward who should limit the

the federal trade commission proposed a rule to ban hidden fees.on't know why that is so hard that we have to talk about it. it seems you should know what you're are paying for and how much you're going to have to pay for it. there is no surprise when you check out. if they could have known up front and compare the price. thanks to actions we have taken, companies would have to show the full price from the start, that's good for customers and i would argue honest businesses so they are not out-competed. today, we are taking an additional action for junk fees in retirement savings. i would argue an awful lot of people don't think about retirement when they are 20, 30, 40 years old. many americans spend their whole lives putting every dime in their retirement account so they could retire with dignity and security. many families get advice from financial advisors to help them out because they don't know. all kidding aside, think about the average family. let me be clear about something. most financial advisors give good advice. i want you to know we a

the federal trade commission is current leewaying new rules and fines for fake reviews, that could stopme shady businesses eventually. for now, use the ten second routine. >> copy, paste it, and put it in a google search. >> who wouldn't want to know? >> you can try something else, too. yelp just posted a new list of accounts under suspicious activity, and there are 4,900 entries on them, and that qr code will take you to it. i bookmarked that link, so when i am looking for a business, and if you see a good reviews, you can cross-reference with the qr code and see if that business has been on the suspicious list. >> we are going back and forth here. that's fascinating, chris. we use this so much. >> everybody does. we will keep watching. >> thanks, chris. >> it's the first thing i do, let's scroll down to the bottom. what do people say about this? >> you check out the ones that are really good or bad and go for the middle. >> i go for all the really good ones. >> then you get it and have to return it, that whole thing. >> happy monday, jeff. >>> yeah, clouds today, and heat in just a fe

been ripe for quite some time, there are interstate commissions to regulate the balance of water for the republic of kazakhstan and the russian federationterstate commissions meet regularly, we agreed at our interparliamentary commission on participation senators of russia and kazakhstan in the work of interstate commissions. unfortunately, information does not always pass through to parliamentarians, and therefore to the territory where these rivers flow. in order to have specific information on how well the drains correspond to russia and kazakhstan, we agreed on this with our colleagues from kazakhstan, such decisions were made, as for cross-border cooperation, this was also the reason for the visit to the samara region, because there are close ties between western- kazakhstan region of kazakhstan and samara region in including the orenburg region on cross-border cooperation, one of the topics was issues of interaction, the use of agricultural machinery in the republic of kazakhstan, for their agricultural enterprises, and such equipment is produced in samara, in particular, we visited the pegaasro enterprise, which produces the corr

well , there is such an example, the american federal communications commission recently issued suchts company for non-compliance with those rules, which she installed. what is this rule? rule, this rule concerns the transfer of a satellite, a given company, the dish company, to a certain orbit, it did not fulfill this condition according to well, this is still a company that is in the jurisdiction of the united states itself, that is, this is a commission, and if it is russian or chinese or indian, they have the opportunity to somehow impose this decision, well, imagine, but in conditions when traffic needs to be organized in the city, it ’s natural, so to speak, someone someone will take on this problem, if you want to get there normally, then naturally you will follow the rules, this is done by some kind of method of gradual involvement, that’s why who will be there first, who will offer the most convenient rules, so to speak, well then, so to speak, the slippers will be the first there will be, of course, the president just visited korolev, he spoke a lot about space, among other

john: the federal trade commission polices false claims on on labels, on in ads and so forth. do they have any power over this? >> experts we talked to said that this social media landscape is really the wi west. there are countless influencers who are posting thousands, if not millions of videos a day. and the ftc does try to regulate and monitor. it definitely requires influencers to disclose when they're being paid to promote products, but it's very difficult for them to regulate and monitor the activity. they occasionally bring cases but it is few and far between. john: what prompted you to look into this? >> the academy of nutrition and dietetics, which is the group that oversees dietitians, they've been criticiz for years for their ties to big food companies like nestle and coca-cola, pepsi, hershey. they've taken millions of dollars in donations from these companies, and they've even allowed food comnies to provide continuing education courses to their dieticians, which they've had faced a lot of criticism for. but we wanted to look at the very influential dietitians on

address. >> americans are tired of being we're tired of being played for suckers. >> now the federal trade commission that will reel in the practice of playing hide and seek with prices. robert harrell is the executive director of the consumer federation of california. >> these are fees that have really plagued consumers. uh- almost every consumer has encountered them in one way or another, and it's a it's a really simple, elegant proposed rule. and we think it's going to be very effective. and we're very supportive of it. >> take a look at it for yourself here on page 135, business businesses that offer display or advertise an amount, a consumer may pay must display the total price more prominently than any other pricing information people need to know up front how much it's going to cost. >> that's basic, simple fairness. that's common sense. yes. and this rule overwhelmingly accomplishes that . >> the new rules would still allow states to pass their own junk fee rules that are more stringent. but right now, there are a couple on our governor's desk right now. so there's a lot going on in this. cer

well, i think president carter and president ford started together the federal election commission, a federal reform commission, and they came up with some suggestions. and so this was 2004, i think. and so harbor help america vote, act, hiv, va how the act was put in place. but it took 18 years before they actually started putting federal funding into it and so the reality is that states can't necessarily afford to do all of this on their own. and so, you know, there's seven states that don't even have a civics curriculum in the united states. so if you're starting at the lowest level of elementary school students and there's no required civics curriculum, and then the state only puts. $0.05 per student for civics, $0.50 per students for stem and stem is important. but at the end of the day, $0.05 for civics is not going to have you raising citizens who understand how voting works or understands how how democracy works. so when they get to voting age and, you know, arizona, i'll use as an example when in maricopa county people heard about that the cyber ninjas came in because they wa

the federal trade commission will hire child psychologists as it considers too regulate social media. the ftc commissioner says that the agency plans on hiring child psychologist to help track the mental effects and potential harm of social media as well as monitor trends and patterns. the ftc is hoping to have those experts hired by the fall of 2024, if not sooner. a new study shows children who stream on twitch share wa too much information. researchers study dozens of children under the age of 13 who stream themselves playing video games on that popular web site. they found that about half of them revealed their names and real locations more than a 3rd of young streamer share their daily schedules and accepted donations. the study also found that even though twitch require streamers to be 13 years of age or older, it's very easy for younger kids to bypass those age checks. and coming up here, recovering after the fire, parts of maui set to reopen. >> why thousands of residents are against this move. plus, gun sales are skyrocketing across the country. what is behind this sudden upt

every telephone provider must register with the database at the federal communications commission. and companies that are not yet implemented the caller id verification system must submit a plan for addressing illegal robocalls. last week the fcc took an important step to begin removing 20 noncompliant companies from the robocall mitigation database. some of the companies filings were laughable. here's one. here's one of the filings right here. pretty simple to see. it's a blank piece of paper. that is what they have submitted in terms of their compliance with the law. another filing was a picture of the companies logo. another provider submitted a document that said nothing in capital letters on the sheet of paper, on the website. nothing. i'm glad the fcc has launched enforcement proceedings against these obviously problematic filings. and i appreciate the ideas that ms. saunders has suggested further strengthening the robocall mitigation database. i look forward to continuing to work with the commission and my colleagues on this issue. it goes right to the heart of the issue tha

change before becoming the director who was confirmed unanimously to be a commissioner of the federal trade commission. we've had a big conversation talking about back office infrastructure. i can think of no better person then from the consumer's point of view. please come up and then we will have the conversation. let me start by saying over roughly a decade digital payments mostly conducted through global devices rapidly became ubiquitous in china and the two services begin to process millions of transactions and now millions of transactions every hour. they captured an extraordinary amount of chinese citizens personal data and at the movement of money throughout the economy and in the same vein in 2019, facebook announced it hatched a scheme to create a global currency. while they've undoubtedly succeeded in capturing so much information and market share did not succeed but what it did for the authorities for stability watchdogs and national security agencies and central banks the control over the flow of money remains alive among the big tech companies around the world. it's a uniquely vulnerable
