Allowing DACA to end would sow chaos and confusion, upending the lives of hundreds of thousands of young, hardworking people and their families. Of the more than 16 million people living in mixed immigration status families - where some in the family are U.S. citizens but others are not - about 1.5 million individ...

Facebook paid - I would call it, bribed - the Federal Trade Commission $5 billion to protect Mark Zuckerberg from personal liability in violating the privacy of millions of users. I didn't conjure that up. That was the clear statement of James Kohm, the agency's associate director of the division of enforcement, who c...

At last week's announcement of the $5 billion Facebook settlement, Kohm responded to Axios' David McCabe, who asked why, if the investigation was so exhaustive, was Zuckerberg, the CEO and controlling shareholder, with acknowledged control over every aspect of Facebook's business, not deposed?

Part of getting this tremendous result with the tools we had is we didn't need to depose him, but we could use that to get more protections for the public, Kohm replied.

noise
Since the tremendous result consists mainly of a fine and establishing an easily ignored privacy committee on a board of directors Zuckerberg controls, the quid pro quo, cash for scotching the deposition, is pretty obvious. Pressed further, Kohm said, We got a lot of relief that we couldn't otherwise have obtained, an...

While FTC chair Joseph Simons gave the smarter, more political answer - the FTC had so much documentary evidence from Facebook that a deposition just wasn't necessary - Kohm gave the game away: Facebook offered cash to keep Zuckerberg's testimony under wraps.

There's a name for this, which I said at the beginning: a bribe, or if you'd like to be more demure, a payoff. The FTC doesn't need the threat of court to bring in Zuckerberg for questioning.

Arguing that you could get a better result without investigating not only makes no sense, it also reveals the corrupt game at the heart of high-level regulatory enforcement. Facebook bought the silence of its CEO for $5 billion.

That's correct. Fining a company - which in effect just fines its shareholders, and not even that because the stock prices go up when investigations close - does nothing to protect the public. That's because protecting the public was never the point.
