The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has removed over 300 blog posts published during the agency\u2019s leadership under former chair Lina Khan, Wired reports<\/a>. These include posts that are critical of companies like Amazon and Microsoft for their handling of customer data<\/a>.<\/p>\n The FTC did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n 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 \u201cmob bosses<\/a>.\u201d But in the Trump era, the FTC is unlikely to be as vigilant about Big Tech.<\/p>\n The deletion of these blogs could potentially violate laws on how government data is handled; meanwhile, the behavior is consistent with the Trump administration\u2019s ongoing campaign to remove certain words and phrases<\/a> from public and private government documents. These terms include \u201cBlack,\u201d \u201cdisability,\u201d \u201cfeminism,\u201d \u201cgenders,\u201d \u201cLatinx,\u201d \u201cLGBTQ,\u201d \u201ctransgender,\u201d \u201cvictims,\u201d and \u201cwomen,\u201d among others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
