On April 16, eight state attorneys general announced the formation of a bipartisan privacy enforcement and information sharing consortium to coordinate privacy enforcement and data protection efforts. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), under Commissioner Melissa Holyoak, has made children's privacy a top enforcement priority, focusing on stricter enforcement of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and increased scrutiny of businesses handling minors' data. President Trump has replaced the FTC's two Democratic commissioners, leaving the agency with three Republican commissioners: Andrew Ferguson, Melissa Holyoak, and Mark Meador. This move has led to legal challenges and affected ongoing cases, including a paused lawsuit regarding insulin pricing. In antitrust developments, Andrew Ferguson has been elevated to FTC chairman and Gail Slater now leads the Department of Justice's (DOJ) Antitrust Division. The new leadership has signaled a less skeptical approach to mergers, while retaining the Biden-era 2023 Merger Guidelines and new Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) filing rules. The agencies plan to streamline merger reviews but maintain a focus on enforcement, particularly in Big Tech, health care, and agriculture sectors.
