But she's the FTC chair not the legislature. She has to work with the laws as they are not as she wants them to be. I don't believe her role is to be a figurehead for legislative change.
It sucks that the FTC fighting uphill battles is the only way to make the changes we need. In a better world, the citizenry could make it happen through class-action suits, but the laws we need to have a better world don't exist yet.
