    Not after the fact. They are due process when the government has to prove it’s case before it can take punitive action. If the government is allowed to take punitive action without going to court to prove it’s needed than there is no due process.

    Why is that so hard to understand?

      I guess parking tickets aren’t due process either, then.

        You realize the ticket is actually a court date right? Most people just choose to plead guilty and pay the fine.

          That is literally analogous to an FTC fine in every way.

            This isn’t a fine. And there’s no requirement to file charges in court and prove data is being mishandled.

              If we’re being semantic this isn’t an anything because the only thing it says is that the FTC can do FTC things to any company that sends data to an adversarial nation.
