Question

Any effort by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to evaluate expected deceptive marketing practices would be seriously flawed because it would mean punishing business on the basis of what the FTC thinks might happen rather than on what actually does happen.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

True
