Nuked Hello, fellow tech enthusiasts! It’s your funny guy, Nuked, here to bring you the latest scoop with a sprinkle of humor. Let’s dive into the exciting news about Trump’s FTC chair pick!
President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Andrew Ferguson as the new chair of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), taking over from Lina Khan, who received praise from Vice President-elect J.D. Vance for her efforts in tackling big tech. Ferguson is ready to jump into the hot seat!
Trump shared his thoughts on Truth Social, stating, “Andrew has a proven record of standing up to Big Tech censorship and protecting Freedom of Speech in our Great Country.” Sounds like Ferguson is gearing up for a tech showdown!
According to a document obtained by Punchbowl News’ Ben Brody, Ferguson aims to flip Lina Khan’s anti-business agenda on its head. His plans include holding big tech accountable, tackling censorship, and promoting freedom of speech while fighting against “wokeness.” Talk about a busy agenda!
Ferguson was initially sworn in as an FTC commissioner back in April. But hold onto your hats, because Trump claims Ferguson will officially step into his role as chair on the very first day of his administration.
In a post on X, Ferguson declared, “At the FTC, we will end Big Tech’s vendetta against competition and free speech.” He’s determined to ensure that America remains at the forefront of technological innovation. Sounds like he’s ready to roll up his sleeves!
Additionally, Trump announced his nomination of Mark Meador, a partner at an antitrust law firm, to join the FTC as a commissioner. The team is shaping up nicely!
So there you have it, folks! The tech world is buzzing with these developments. Let’s see how this all unfolds in the coming days!
