In a recent episode of the podcast "Pantsuits and Lawsuits," Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel and Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes discuss antitrust enforcement with Lina Khan, former Chair of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The episode explores how state-federal partnerships are vital for maintaining fairness in the marketplace and addressing issues such as weakened consumer protections, corporate mergers, and AI-driven “surveillance pricing.”
"The FTC plays a vital role in enforcing federal consumer protection laws," Nessel stated. She emphasized the importance of collaboration between states and federal agencies to combat fraud and deception. Nessel noted that Michigan relies heavily on antitrust laws due to its lack of strong consumer protection laws, making federal support crucial.
