Looking at Amazon, Aliexpress, even Walmart, there’s a lot of products that aren’t what they claim, such as lying about the capacity of batteries. Customers have to figure these things out for themselves and ‘metagame’ the system.

I don’t think this should be allowed, but what are your thoughts?

    My pessimistic prediction is that it would be toothless, underfunded, and hamstrung by red tape and loopholes. The rules would probably be written by the same corporations this agency is supposed to monitor.

    I’d be in favor of an aggressive, well-funded, and powerful version of this agency, though!
