Dec 28, 2025 Alex

Advertisers are Using the Holiday Season to Push Weight Loss Products on Instagram and Facebook (Hartford, CT) – Today, Attorney General William Tong and a coalition of 35 bipartisan attorneys general called on Meta to better enforce its own policies about pharmaceutical and wellness ads on Instagram and Facebook and take additional measures to prevent AI-generated weight loss content in ads.

ATTORNEY GENERAL TONG SUES TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO DEFEND CRITICAL CONSUMER PROTECTION EFFORTS

Dec 27, 2025 Alex

(Hartford, CT) -- Attorney General William Tong today joined a coalition of attorneys general in suing the Trump administration to stop the complete defunding of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which has returned more than $21 billion improperly taken from over 205 million Americans throughout its 14-year existence.
