13 International Harvester, 104 FTC at 1051. 1 FTC Policy Statement on Deception, 103 F.T.C. 

174, 175 (1984) (appended to Cliffdale Assocs., Inc., 

103 F.T.C. 110 (1984)). 

2 Int’l. Harvester Co., 104 F.T.C. 949, 1058 (1984). 

I respectfully disagree. Lenovo failed 

to disclose that VisualDiscovery would 

act as a man-in-the-middle. However, 

Lenovo did disclose that the software 

would introduce advertising into 

consumers’ web browsing, although its 

disclosure could have been better. 

Furthermore, to the extent ordinary 

consumers expect anything from 

advertising software, they likely expect 

it to affect their web browsing and to be 

intrusive, as the popularity of ad 

blocking technology shows. In addition, 

unlike the man-in-the-middle 

technique, VisualDiscovery’s ad 

placement and web browsing effects did 

not introduce gross hazards obviously 

outside of consumers’ ordinary 

expectations for advertising software. In 

short, although VisualDiscovery’s ad 

placement and effect on web browsing 

may have been irritating to many, those 

features did not make VisualDiscovery 

unfit for its intended use. Therefore, I 

do not find Lenovo’s silence about those 

features to be a deceptive omission. 

Fortunately, the outcome in this case 

does not depend on resolving our 

disagreement on the application of 

deceptive omission to advertising 

software. My goal in writing separately 

is to maintain the clear distinction set 

forth in International Harvester between 

deceptive failures to disclose and unfair 

omissions.13 When evaluating the 

legality of a party’s silence, we must be 

careful not to circumvent unfairness’s 

higher evidentiary burden by simply 

restyling an unfair omission as a 

deceptive omission. 

Statement of Commissioner Terrell 

McSweeny in the Matter of Lenovo, Inc. 

I support the Commission’s complaint 

against Lenovo, but I am troubled by 

conduct in this case that the 

Commission fails to challenge. 

According to the complaint, Lenovo, 

Inc. preinstalled software on computers 

that was designed to serve 

advertisements to consumers while they 

were browsing Web sites. The software, 

called VisualDiscovery, acted as a 

‘‘man-in-the-middle’’ between the 

consumers and all of the Web sites with 

which they communicated. It allegedly 

actively contravened the security 

posture of consumers’ computers, 

leaving them vulnerable both to attack 

from cyber-criminals and to transmitting 

personal information across the web to 

Superfish, Inc. servers. These unfair 

practices violate the Federal Trade 

Commission Act and are appropriately 

challenged by the FTC in Counts II and 

III of the complaint. 

But Lenovo’s unlawful conduct went 

beyond the data security failings alleged 

in the complaint. The complaint also 

describes how the software it 

preinstalled on computers would: (1) 

Inject pop-up ads every time consumers 

visited a shopping Web site; and (2) 

disrupt web browsing by reducing 

download speeds by almost 25 percent 

and upload speeds by 125 percent. 

These facts were not disclosed to 

consumers and these omissions were 

deceptive. 

Moreover, the FTC alleges that the 

VisualDiscovery software was designed 

to be difficult to discover. Consumers 

were initially made aware of the 

existence of the VisualDiscovery 

software via a pop-up window the first 

time they visited an ecommerce site. But 

clicking to close that window opted 

consumers into the program. The initial 

pop-up window failed to disclose that 

VisualDiscovery would follow the 

consumers from shopping site to 

shopping site; slow the performance and 

functionality of the Web sites they 

visited; and compromise their security 

and privacy throughout each online 

browsing session. 

Under Section 5 of the FTC Act, the 

failure to disclose information necessary 

to prevent the creation of a false 

impression is a deceptive practice.1 A 

seller’s silence may make an implied 

representation ‘‘based on ordinary 

consumer expectations as to the 

irreducible minimum performance 

standards of a particular class of 

good.’’ 2 In this case, Lenovo deceptively 

omitted that VisualDiscovery would 

alter the very internet experience for 

which most consumers buy a computer. 

I believe that if consumers were fully 

aware of what VisualDiscovery was, 

how it compromised their system, and 

how they could have opted out, most 

would have decided to keep 

VisualDiscovery inactive. 

This is an exceptionally strong case 

and clearly articulates how the 

Commission uses its unfairness tools to 

protect the data security and privacy of 

consumers. I support Count I, but 

believe the FTC should have included 

additional deceptive conduct alleged in 

the complaint within the count. The 

FTC should not turn a blind eye to 

deceptive disclosures and opt-ins, 

particularly when consumers’ privacy 

and security are at stake.

BILLING CODE 6750–01–P 

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION 

Granting of Requests for Early 

Termination of the Waiting Period 

Under the Premerger Notification 

Rules 

Section 7A of the Clayton Act, 15 

U.S.C. 18a, as added by Title II of the 

Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust 

Improvements Act of 1976, requires 

persons contemplating certain mergers 

or acquisitions to give the Federal Trade 

Commission and the Assistant Attorney 

General advance notice and to wait 

designated periods before 

consummation of such plans. Section 

7A(b)(2) of the Act permits the agencies, 

in individual cases, to terminate this 

waiting period prior to its expiration 

and requires that notice of this action be 

published in the Federal Register. 

The following transactions were 

granted early termination—on the dates 

indicated—of the waiting period 

provided by law and the premerger 

notification rules. The listing for each 

transaction includes the transaction 

number and the parties to the 

transaction. The grants were made by 

the Federal Trade Commission and the 

Assistant Attorney General for the 

Antitrust Division of the Department of 

Justice. Neither agency intends to take 

any action with respect to these 

proposed acquisitions during the 

applicable waiting period.
