Conflict of interest in FTC's DoubleClick hearing?
Privacy groups are trying to get FTC chairwoman Deborah Platt Majoras, a Republican, to recuse herself from consideration of the Google-DoubleClick deal. It seems that DoubleClick has tapped the DC law firm of Jones Day to represent it before the FCC and Majoras' husband is an equity investor in Jones Day, according to a report on Newsfactor.
