FTC press releases log (daily)

Daily log of U.S. Federal Trade Commission press releases observed in the Commission's official RSS feeds (keyless): one row per distinct release with headline, canonical URL, feed publication date, and a section from topic-feed membership (competition, consumer-protection, other). Method: the main feed plus the Bureau of Competition and Bureau of Consumer Protection topic feeds are polled and unioned by feed guid; the frame is deterministic per feed state, so an unchanged feed mints no new snapshot. Units: one release per row; pub_date is an ISO date; country_code is the USA join key. Covers enforcement actions, rulemakings (e.g. subscription click-to-cancel, fake reviews, junk fees), merger challenges, and consumer-refund distributions — the regulatory event stream for online-shop and subscription businesses. Complements the other publisher press-release logs (SEC, FDIC, OCC, BEA, Bank of Canada, StatCan). No summary column: release descriptions carry FTC media-contact phones/emails that would trip the hub PII gate; the canonical link reaches the full release. Caveats: the feeds surface a rolling window (61 distinct releases over 2026-04-17 → 2026-09-28 at build time), not a complete archive.
