Looking at Amazon, Aliexpress, even Walmart, there’s a lot of products that aren’t what they claim, such as lying about the capacity of batteries. Customers have to figure these things out for themselves and ‘metagame’ the system.

I don’t think this should be allowed, but what are your thoughts?

    Are you in the US?

    If so, it’s the Federal Trade Commission Bureau of Consumer Protection.

    Trump ofc tried to replace the commissioners who lead the Bureau. The courts stopped him, at least temporarily, TBH I’ve lost track of that one. And now he’s trying to use the Bureau to go after gender-affirming care. I assume it’s something transphobic like, since he believes transgenderism is made up, care to help a person transition would be “fraudulent”.

      I’ve got some bad news for you.

      The high court said in a brief order that it will also allow Mr. Trump to fire Rebecca Kelly Slaughter from her position at the FTC while it considers the case. It will hear arguments in its December session, and its stay will remain in place until it issues a decision. Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented from the majority’s decision to allow Slaughter’s removal.
