FTC rule on unfair or deceptive fees to take effect on May 12

Viewed 44
The new FTC rule aimed at eliminating unfair or deceptive fees will be implemented on May 12, covering live-event ticketing and short-term lodging industries. This regulation seeks to combat practices such as bait-and-switch pricing and the misleading presentation of total costs. However, there are concerns regarding the rule's limited scope, as many user comments question why it does not extend to other industries including cellular service fees, suggesting a broader application is necessary. The exclusion of pre-recorded performances from the rule also raises eyebrows. Overall, while the regulations are a positive step toward transparency, the wider acceptance of such measures across all industries remains a topic of discussion and requires further legislative attention.
