FTC removes posts critical of Big Tech from its website
By: technology Posted On: March 18, 2025 View:

The FTC has removed over 300 blog posts published during the agency’s leadership under former chair Lina Khan, Wired reports. These include posts that are critical of companies like Amazon and Microsoft for their handling of customer data.

The FTC did not respond to a request for comment.

As FTC chair during the Biden years, Khan was known as a tough enforcer of antitrust law, seeking to hold mega corporations accountable for their potential to stifle competition in American markets. In an interview with TechCrunch, she once referred to Big Tech leaders as “mob bosses.” But in the Trump era, the FTC is unlikely to be as vigilant about Big Tech.

The deletion of these blogs could potentially violate laws on how government data is handled; meanwhile, the behavior is consistent with the Trump administration’s ongoing campaign to remove certain words and phrases from public and private government documents. These terms include “Black,” “disability,” “feminism,” “genders,” “Latinx,” “LGBTQ,” “transgender,” “victims,” and “women,” among others.
