The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has initiated an inquiry into potential censorship practices by major tech companies such as Google and Meta (Facebook). Led by Chairman Andrew Ferguson, the FTC seeks public input on issues like shadow banning and overall user intimidation. Ferguson described these practices as "not just un-American" but potentially illegal, inviting affected users to share their experiences. This move by the FTC comes as Big Tech executives seek closer ties with the Trump administration amid a broader push for transparency in tech censorship.
