The head of the Federal Trade Commission this week claimed in a letter to Apple that the company may be violating the federal consumer protection law by allegedly promoting liberal publications in Apple News and suppressing right-wing ones.
“Any act or practice by Apple News to suppress or promote news articles based on the perceived ideological or political viewpoint of the article or publication, if inconsistent with Apple’s terms of service or the reasonable expectations of consumers, may violate the FTC Act,” Chair Andrew Ferguson says in a warning letter sent to Apple CEO Tim Cook on Wednesday.
