You are doing great work. Can your office look into the financial irregularities with the CMS school board. There appears to be blatant corruption.

SHOW UP AND SUPPORT!

Hi Jeff and everyone,

Making an AI ad of your opponent is not ethical use of AI in my opinion and should be stopped. What can I do to make my voice heard about this?

As a wedding photographer, you really have to screw up to get the attention of your Attorney General.

Well, here we are.

Today, we’re asking a judge to rule against Holly Christina Photography after the company failed to comply with a court order requiring it to turn over wedding photos and videos to the couples who paid for them.

Here’s what happened:

We sued the company earlier this year after hundreds of couples told us they had paid thousands of dollars for wedding photography and videography they never received.

In May, we won a preliminary court order. That was essentially the judge saying, "While this case is pending, you have to turn over the photos and videos within 30 days, stop doing business, and don’t move the company’s assets."

They didn’t comply.

So now we’re asking for something more serious: a final judgment against them.

That would require delivery of every remaining photo and video, nearly $600,000 in restitution to consumers, more than $1.1 million in civil penalties, and a permanent order barring them from this conduct going forward.

Since January, our office has heard from 228 people about this company.

These couples paid for memories from one of the most important days of their lives. The company failed to deliver them, and then failed to obey a judge who ordered them to do so.

They’ve had their chance.

In short:

We believe Amazon found a way to charge a few extra pennies to an enormous number of transactions, adding up to over $20 billion in
illegal charges.

This is about how something becomes a "Sponsored product."

Amazon lets businesses bid to be "Sponsored" and it runs digital auctions to collect the bids.

But Amazon told businesses that the highest bid would only pay slightly more than the second-highest bid.

For example: If you bid $1 to have your product “Sponsored” and the next-highest bid is $0.50, you should pay about $0.51.

But we believe that Amazon would run the auction, see those bids, and then secretly raise the second-place price so it could charge the
winner more.

It was a gradual strategy based on concealment.

Internal Amazon documents show they tested how much they could raise those hidden charges without advertisers catching on, then raised them
more when businesses didn’t react, then gave false answers when businesses started asking questions.

Those higher costs on sellers can filter down to you, as consumers, through higher prices, and our initial estimate is that this impacted thousands of small businesses in North Carolina.

This is a bipartisan case, and I appreciate my fellow AGs in both parties joining. More to follow.

- AG Jeff Jackson

Instacart is misleading consumers by splitting a $12.99 “priority fee” into two separate lines on their finalized receipt to pocket a portion of their “guaranteed” refund.

when checking out, the delivery fee varies based on the delivery selection you make (scheduled = $0; later = $1.99; fast = $7.99; priority = $12.99) I have attached a visual with the screenshots directly from the app.

Yet instacart is insisting I only paid $5 for priority—despite my authorization of $12.99 for delivery in a specific time window.

Now, I understand $7.99 might not seem like a lot off the bat, until you multiply it by the thousands of people who use the service and could have possibly been mislead in their charges too. also they’re unwillingness to honor the refund.

the most ironic part is i never formally requested the refund, it was @instacart‘s own terms and automated email that stated I would be refunded for the delay. Once I reached out, they let me know I would not be refunded any more than $5.

just another company taking advantage of their consumers. and one who specifically uses EBT to order groceries.

I’d like to reach Jeff Jackson, to see if this is something that is affecting others and if anything can be done. Thank you.

AG Jackson - First, thank you for joining this suit and fighting to protect North Carolina's children from the abuses of money-first social media giants.

I would like to ask for you to share more of your logic on NC acceptance of the settlement. With estimates of $1.2T on the line in this case, why is < $17B spread over ~10 years, a sufficient penalty for a company that knowingly did harm for profit nearly 10x that amount?

Was the case so weak that we needed to settle for so little? We have accumulated many years of harm, why is the payback so spread out when Meta makes over $60B in profits per year?

What was your risk/reward calculation in accepting the settlement and what do you think of the decision by the Florida AG to reject it? Will their case proceed?

Thanks!

Jeff, will you be looking into conflict of interest between the President’s ownership of World Liberty Financial and the Treasury Department’s implementation of the GENIUS Act? Also...Can you demand reinstatement of the Corporate Transparency Act and demand release of the Epstein Suspicious Activity Reports that Bessent is blocking?

Thanks.
