Trump expressed his confidence in Ferguson, stating, "Andrew has a proven record of standing up to Big Tech censorship, and protecting Freedom of Speech in our Great Country." This endorsement highlights the administration's focus on confronting perceived biases in technology and media.
Ferguson's goals, as outlined in a leaked document, emphasize reversing Lina Khan's anti-business agenda and specifically include aims to "hold big tech accountable and stop censorship," reflecting a significant shift in the FTC's direction.
In his own words, Ferguson stated, "At the FTC, we will end Big Tech's vendetta against competition and free speech. We will make sure that America is the world's technological leader." This underscores his mission to protect innovation and competition.
Trump's nomination of Mark Meador also signifies a strategic move, aiming to strengthen the FTC's stance on antitrust issues, particularly in relation to large technology firms.
