The FTC has recently deleted over 300 blog posts that were published during the tenure of former chair Lina Khan. These posts were critical of major corporations, including Amazon and Microsoft, regarding their customer data practices. Khan was recognized for her aggressive enforcement of antitrust regulations during the Biden administration, labeling Big Tech leaders as 'mob bosses.' The move to delete these blog posts could violate existing legal standards governing public data and reflects a broader trend from the Trump administration to reframe government communications by excluding certain terms and phrases.
The deletion of these blogs could potentially violate laws on how government data is handled, as it aligns with efforts to sanitize government communications.
Under Lina Khan, the FTC had actively targeted Big Tech giants, citing their practices as detrimental to competition, which contrasts with the current administration's approach.
