According to reports, like workers across the United States, Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, a member of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), has been thinking about how to use her work to fight racism this summer. While she was on maternity leave, turmoil broke out across the United States, caused by the George Floyd incident. However, unlike ordinary workers, as one of the five members of the FTC, Slott’s decision will have a substantial impact on workers everywhere.
During her tenure, the FTC fined a number of large technology companies, such as Facebook and Google, because these companies were accused of misusing user data. The FTC is currently investigating Facebook for antitrust grounds. According to reports, the FTC also interviewed sellers on the platform about Amazon’s competitive behavior.
In an interview this Thursday, Slott said she believes the FTC will take corresponding measures to ensure that its enforcement decisions are more fair . She had previously posted many tweets on this issue. Slott said that for a long time, she has always felt that it is often difficult to achieve “value neutrality” in antitrust enforcement in the United States, which is a very “weird” thing. She emphasized that regardless of whether the FTC decides to conduct enforcement actions, it will have an impact on consumers within the existing structure, which makes it impossible for enforcement to be truly neutral.
Slott said: “My hope is to strive to be fair, not to reinforce injustice. I think this approach is in line with the FTC’s mission and mission.”
