Why do you think they’re gone now? (Sounds like hyperbole, as it’s not like non political people just all got replaced.)

#23I guess its just the power of advertising but its amazing to me that GoDaddy continues to be a popular solution for hosting, domain registration, etc given their absolute toilet of a reputation.

They bought out another registrar I was a customer of. Now I am paying 40% more for renewals. If I want to migrate I need to expose my whois info. They're always looking to upsell me into some horrible hosting garbage.
Anyway. Nice to see the FTC getting a few wins in before they are defanged by the new administration.

#25I was shocked when I purchased a domain recently on GoDaddy (I normally use Cloudflare or AWS) and noticed that they have an 'upsell' with more security options (MFA and some other features) for something like $10/yr. Why wouldn't they want their customers to be more secure by default? To me it just reeks of money-grabbing for people that are none the wiser.
It show a cavalier attitude toward the greater security of the internet.

Change "gone" to "out of power," if you like. The FTC Chair controls the agency's agenda, and the Chair switched parties last week.

Federal employees are being asked who they voted for. This is not hyperbole.
Is the US turning into "fourth Reich"?
Give it 6-12 months and we'll see how the courts react to challenges and if Congress suddenly grows a spine. And if a mid-term swing back to normalcy seems likely.
