Snap is under renewed scrutiny as FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter questioned the status of a non-public AI chatbot complaint referred to the DOJ in January, according to CNBC. The complaint targeted Snap’s My AI, launched in 2023 and powered by OpenAI and Google models, for posing potential risks to young users. Slaughter said the public deserves answers on the unresolved status of the DOJ complaint against Snap. Trump has sought to remove Slaughter from her FTC role, but a U.S. appeals court allowed her to remain, while the president has petitioned the Supreme Court to overturn that decision. FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson, appointed by Trump, previously opposed the Snap complaint.
