Federal Trade Commission

Also called: FTC, F.T.C., the FTC, Federal Trade Comission

The US federal agency that enforces laws against unfair, deceptive and anticompetitive business practices. For a startup, this covers claims made in advertising and promises made to customers.

For example: Before launching ads that say its AI tool cuts costs in half, a founder checks that the claim can be backed up, because the FTC treats false claims as deceptive.
