FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson highlighted online speech moderation as a major focus, emphasizing that platforms must adhere to their own policies without coordinating moderation efforts. The discussion also touched on parallels between the Telecom Act's approach to monopolies and the need for data portability and interoperability to address Big Tech dominance.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Enterprise Software.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must assume platforms will face stricter enforcement on speech moderation compliance soon. This opens a door to build tools that verify or enhance policy adherence to avoid costly penalties.
