FTC Launches Probe into Big Tech Censorship Claims

FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson has initiated a public comment period on concerns that online services from major tech firms, including Meta Platforms and Uber Technologies, are “censoring” users. Conservatives claim their ideas and affiliations are being unfairly suppressed. Ferguson described the issue as “un-American” and “potentially illegal.” The move comes after President Donald Trump’s decision to invite tech executives to his inauguration, sparking questions about how his administration would regulate these companies during his second term.
