Want FTC to approve a merger? Just advertise on Trump's Truth Social
Briefly

The article discusses new regulations imposed by the FTC that force advertising agencies like Omnicom to financially support Donald Trump's social media platforms, including Truth Social. The FTC's framing of these regulations effectively extends the definition of 'boycott' and mandates that agencies spend money on platforms aligned with Trump's interests. The oversight is extensive, requiring ongoing reports and unprecedented access to company records. This parallels Trump's past arrangements with law firms, suggesting a trend of governmental overreach that could harm the operational integrity of businesses.
The FTC's new rules seem less about fairness and more about coercing advertisers to support Donald Trump's failing social media ventures, echoing his previous controversial deals.
The FTC has managed to create an environment where agencies are pressured into compliance, scrutinizing their client relationships and potentially violating traditional business practices.
