Greatly above and well beyond the asserted “impracticalities” of the FTC's hideous plot, there is simply no justification in the United States Of America for any government entity of any kind or for any reason to make even a single comment about anything said or written by any person about any product, service, or indeed any topic about anything.

The FTC does not have any kind of special dispensation to regulate any kind of speech in this country.

The mere idea is simply outrageous.
