The Texas Attorney General is once again signaling the office's intent to enforce the state's privacy and consumer protection laws. According to a June 2024 press release, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton "launched a major data privacy and security initiative" to "protect Texans' sensitive data from illegal exploitation by tech, AI, and other companies." In its newest action, the Texas Attorney General reached a settlement with Pieces Technologies (Pieces), an artificial intelligence health care technology company advertised as having the ability to summarize patients' charts and notes on behalf of providers in inpatient settings, such as hospitals.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has issued a report summarizing the findings from its nearly four-year study of the data collection and use practices of certain social media and video streaming services (the "Report"). In addition to outlining consumer protection and privacy concerns related to alleged data practices, the report also discusses the "competition implications" stemming from those data practices. The Report sheds light on how the agency considers certain corporate data practices to trigger not only consumer protection issues, but also concerns related to alleged market dominance, reduced innovation, and an overall lack of competition in the tech industry.
