Khan and Commissioners Rebecca Slaughter and Alvaro Bedoya, the agency outlined its work on important consumer protection enforcement and policy initiatives, including safeguarding consumers’ privacy, combatting junk fees and unwanted charges, making it easier for consumers to cancel subscriptions, and protecting servicemembers and veterans, older Americans, and other communities from fraud and deception.
