Business-guidance content published during the Biden administration has been removed from the Federal Trade Commission website.
Under the Trump administration, the FTC removed business guidance blogs from the Biden era, including consumer protection information related to AI and privacy lawsuits against companies like Amazon and Microsoft. These blogs offered advice on avoiding consumer protection law violations, using examples like FTC complaints against Amazon's Ring, Microsoft's Xbox data collection practices, and guidance on creating trustworthy AI chatbots. Concerns have been raised about compliance with the Federal Records Act and the Open Government Data Act. The removal is viewed by some as benefiting tech companies by easing restrictions on data collection and AI model training.
