   Restatement of the claim: The FTC will host a workshop on February 26, 2026, in-person with an online option, to examine how to understand and measure consumer injuries and benefits from data collection, use, or disclosure. Evidence of progress: An FTC press release dated January 8, 2026 announces the workshop for February 26, 2026, indicating planning is underway. The event is described as occurring on that date with in-person and online participation. Current status and milestones: As of February 1, 2026, there is no public information indicating the workshop has occurred, been canceled, or changed. The completing milestone is the actual hosting on February 26, 2026, with remote viewing available. Reliability notes: The primary source is the FTC press release, which is the authoritative indicator of scheduled plans. Given the lack of subsequent reporting indicating cancellation, the plan appears on track, though confirmation after the date is required to declare completion.
