Lina Khan

American legal scholar and antitrust lawyer who chaired the U.S. Federal Trade Commission from 2021 to 2025, known for an unusually aggressive enforcement posture toward large tech and data-driven companies.

Enters this vault as the FTC Chair quoted in the Commission's April 2024 proposed order against telehealth company Cerebral, which she called "a first-of-its-kind prohibition" — an enforcement action barring a company from using sensitive health data for advertising at all, not merely requiring disclosure of the practice. Matters to this vault's privacy/consent-enforcement thread as the official voice behind that distinction.
