About our Federal Trade Commission news

Latest news on Federal Trade Commission (FTC), providing comprehensive coverage of consumer protection, antitrust enforcement, mergers, privacy regulations, and big tech oversight.

The Federal Trade Commission, established in 1914, stands as America's premier consumer protection agency and competition watchdog. With broad authority to enforce antitrust laws and protect consumers from unfair business practices, the FTC plays a crucial role in maintaining fair competition and safeguarding consumer interests across the United States.

Under Chair Lina Khan's leadership, the FTC has intensified its scrutiny of big tech companies and corporate consolidation. The agency has taken aggressive action against major technology firms, challenging mergers and acquisitions while investigating privacy violations and anticompetitive practices. Notable cases include the ongoing investigation into Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard and Amazon's business practices.

Beyond its high-profile tech cases, the FTC actively protects everyday consumers through enforcement actions against fraudulent businesses, deceptive advertising, and unfair practices. The agency's consumer education initiatives help millions of Americans avoid scams, understand their rights, and make informed decisions about their privacy and personal data.

Throughout its history, the FTC has adapted to meet evolving marketplace challenges, from combating snake oil salesmen in the early 20th century to addressing digital-age concerns like data privacy and online fraud. The agency's enforcement approach has shifted with changing administrations and economic conditions, but its core mission of protecting competition and consumers has remained constant.

Our NewsNow feed delivers comprehensive coverage of the FTC's latest enforcement actions, policy initiatives, and regulatory developments from trusted sources across the media landscape. Whether you're a business leader, legal professional, or concerned consumer, stay informed about the agency's crucial work in shaping America's economic landscape and protecting consumer interests.
