Donald Trump picks Andrew Ferguson to head FTC; what this may mean for Google, Facebook, Apple and Microsoft
US President-elect Donald Trump has selected Andrew Ferguson to lead the Federal Trade Commission, marking a significant shift in the agency’s regulatory approach and signaling a potential softening of antitrust enforcement against big tech companies.
Ferguson, currently a Republican commissioner at the FTC, will replace Lina Khan, whose aggressive stance against corporate consolidation drew criticism from Silicon Valley.
