NewsGuard Sues FTC Over Credibility Investigation

NewsGuard Technologies sued the Federal Trade Commission and its chairman, Andrew Ferguson, in U.S. District Court in Washington last month, alleging the FTC is misusing its authority by investigating its news-credibility ratings. The FTC counters that NewsGuard seeks to suppress conservative speech and has demanded extensive internal documents and subscriber lists. The dispute underscores regulatory scrutiny of media-rating services and potential impacts on advertisers and AI firms.
