FTC removes posts critical of big tech from its website

The Federal Trade Commission has removed over 300 blogs related to consumer protection and big tech, including important guidance on issues like privacy and artificial intelligence.
Current and former FTC employees revealed that the removed blogs included advice for tech companies on complying with consumer protection laws.
Andrew Ferguson, the newly appointed FTC Chair, has vowed to focus on perceived censorship by social media rather than previous consumer protection issues.
Sources suggest that deleting these blogs mainly benefits tech companies, as it minimizes prior compliance expectations established by previous administrations.
