Portrait of Andrew N. Ferguson Federal Trade Commission“At the FTC, we will end Big Tech’s vendetta against competition and free speech,” Ferguson posted to Xon Tuesday.
Consolidation in tech makes it easier for governments to pressure social media companies to take down content, Ferguson told Missouri Republican Sen. Eric Schmitt.
Schmitt, as the state’s attorney general in 2022, led a high-profile lawsuit about alleged social media censorship that wound up before the Supreme Court in its last term.
Ferguson has weighed in on social media speech in other ways, too.
In a June interview with the Mercatus Center, a libertarian think tank, Ferguson defended some initiatives spearheaded by Khan’s FTC.
