This section says breaking this chapter's rules counts as an unfair or deceptive practice. That practice falls under the Federal Trade Commission Act. The FTC enforces this chapter the same way it enforces that broader Act.

(a) Unfair or deceptive act or practice. Violating this chapter is treated as violating a rule that defines an unfair or deceptive act or practice, as set out under section 18(a)(1)(B) of the Federal Trade Commission Act. (b) Actions by the Commission. The Federal Trade Commission enforces this chapter using the same methods, and with the same jurisdiction, powers, and duties, as if every applicable term of the Federal Trade Commission Act were written directly into this chapter.
