FTC Chair Warns Tech Giants: Don’t Weaken U.S. Privacy While Complying with EU/UK Rules
FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson has cautioned major tech firms—including Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta—not to compromise U.S. user privacy standards in order to comply with EU and UK regulations (like the Digital Services Act or the UK's Online Safety Act). He emphasized that aligning with foreign laws must not result in weakening protections for American users.
