Federal Trade Commission Chair Andrew Ferguson has issued a clear warning to U.S. technology companies against complying with foreign regulations that could undermine Americans' free speech and data privacy rights. This advisory comes in the context of recent digital regulatory measures in the European Union and the United Kingdom, including the UK's Online Safety Act. Ferguson emphasized that U.S. law does not require enforcement of foreign digital safety laws such as the UK's Online Safety Act on American soil. The FTC's stance signals a firm position against yielding to international regulatory pressures that might compromise data security or impose censorship standards inconsistent with U.S. legal protections. This follows the UK's withdrawal of its demand for iCloud surveillance access, highlighting ongoing tensions between U.S. tech firms and foreign governments over data privacy and content regulation.
