WASHINGTON—Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) want the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate how major tech companies curate content, and make public what the agency finds that’s in the public interest.
“Big Tech companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter exercise enormous influence on speech. The vast majority of Internet traffic flows through just a handful of these companies,” the senators said in a letter to all five FTC commissioners on July 15.
