Companies need to compete fairly in the market based on their product quality and customer service, not by deceiving consumers. The Trump-Vance FTC will not tolerate this kind of behavior. If the allegations in this complaint are borne out, we will hold Uber accountable.

Big Tech censorship is not just un-American, it is potentially illegal.  The FTC wants your help to investigate these potential violations of the law.  We are asking for public submissions from anyone who has been a victim of tech censorship (banning, demonetization, shadow banning, etc.), from employees of tech platforms, or from anyone else who can shed light on these practices and the ways in which they may violate the law.
