Andrew Ferguson has been appointed as Chair of the Federal Trade Commission by Donald Trump, pledging to prioritize traditional enforcement and reduce the emphasis on antitrust that characterized Lina Khan's tenure. Ferguson, who previously served as a commissioner nominated by President Biden, advocates for a pro-business agenda that seeks to terminate what he deems Big Tech's anti-competitive practices. His leadership suggests a shift back to established legal boundaries for antitrust cases while fostering innovation and competition in the technology sector.
