The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is the independent commission for consumer protection and competition (antitrust). Its two pillars are policing deceptive and unfair practices and overseeing monopolies and anticompetitive mergers and conduct.

It has recently drawn attention for enforcement and rule-making on big-tech market power, privacy, and AI. As a competition authority alongside the DOJ, it wields major influence over merger review and consumer redress.
