Cruz: FTC Shouldn’t Be ‘Colluding’ With EU Enforcers

The FTC shouldn’t be “colluding” with European regulators to help enforce European laws against American companies on U.S. soil, Senate Commerce Committee ranking member Ted Cruz, R-Texas, wrote Chair Lina Khan Tuesday. Cruz is seeking documents on communication between FTC officials and EU officials in their San Francisco office about implementation of the EU’s Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act. “There are no corollary federal laws to the DSA and DMA, making the FTC’s efforts to conspire with foreign regulators against U.S. businesses unprecedented,” said Cruz’s office. He requested accounting records for any FTC employees who traveled to Brussels. The FTC confirmed receiving the letter.
