…Commissioner Orson Swindle, a longtime opponent of the FTC’s privacy activities.

Wow. That’s awesome.

Unfortunately, that name makes him probably among the most honest of the FTC’s opponents on the issue. The others are subtler.

Maybe I’m shallow, but it seems like you ought to be able to find an industry anti-privacy advocate whose name isn’t “Swindle”.
