The U.S. Federal Trade Commission is reportedly nearing the end of its investigation into YouTube’s account suspensions, content removals and platform policies. The probe is examining whether YouTube may have misled users about what content its rules permitted, only for videos to later be removed or accounts suspended. FTC lawyers are reportedly preparing a potential lawsuit against YouTube, although no lawsuit has been filed and the company has not been formally accused of wrongdoing. If the FTC moves forward, this could become a major case for YouTube creators, content moderation, platform transparency, account bans and Big Tech regulation.
