FTC Removes 300 Blogs Critical of Big Tech

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has removed over 300 blog posts published during the Biden administration, which included critical content about major tech companies like Amazon and Microsoft regarding their data practices. These posts, authored under former chair Lina Khan, provided guidance on consumer protection and outlined legal actions against these firms. Current FTC leadership, appointed under the Trump administration, appears to be shifting the agency's focus away from aggressive enforcement of antitrust regulations. Former officials have expressed concerns that deleting these posts erases important compliance expectations for the industry. Critics argue this move aligns with a broader effort to censor specific narratives and terms from government communications. The FTC has not commented on the rationale behind the deletions.
