Trump FTC Tells Apple News to Feature More Conservative Outlets
📰 What Happened
The Federal Trade Commission sent a letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook. The FTC claims Apple News does not show enough stories from conservative news sites like Fox News and Breitbart. FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson says this might break rules about what Apple promised to users.
💡 Why It Matters
Tens of millions of Americans use Apple News to read stories every day. The government is now trying to tell a private company which news sources to promote. This raises questions about free speech and whether the government should control what news people see.
🔮 What Happens Next
Apple will likely respond to the FTC's letter. Experts will watch to see if the government can legally force a private company to promote certain news sources.
