Privacy advocate to be nominated for seat on Federal Trade Commission
Source: The Hill
President Biden will nominate privacy advocate Alvero Bedoya for a seat on the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), a source familiar with the matter confirmed Monday.
Bedoya, a Georgetown Law professor and the founding director of the schools’ Center on Privacy & Technology, will be filling a spot set to be vacated since Biden nominated commissioner Rohit Chopra to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Before Bedoya founded the privacy center, he served as the first chief counsel to the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology and the Law.
The nomination comes as the FTC continues to take aim at tech giants and their market power.
