In this episode of ComplianceTalk, Michele Shuster and Chad Blackham break down several recent regulatory and legal developments with important compliance implications. They discuss the FTC’s enforcement action against StubHub over undisclosed service fees and what it signals for transparent pricing and advertising practices. The conversation also covers Alabama’s newly enacted comprehensive privacy law, notable for its unusually low applicability thresholds, and recent amendments to Illinois’ biometric privacy law that significantly limit potential liability for businesses. The episode wraps up with an overview of FTC scrutiny of employee noncompete agreements—particularly for lower-wage workers—and a reminder that California’s new privacy enforcement agency is officially gearing up for audits and enforcement.
