The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has launched a wide-ranging public inquiry into federal regulations that could be stifling competition.
The initiative comes after an executive order from President Donald Trump issued earlier this month, directing federal agencies to identify and eradicate rules that may be protecting dominant players at the cost of new entrants and innovation.
What Happened: On April 14, the FTC issued a Request for Information asking the public to report federal rules that hurt competition. Consumers, workers, businesses, investors, and academics are invited to submit responses and comments by May 27 via Regulations.gov.

Why It Matters: President Trump's April 9 executive order indicates a major change in federal regulatory policy, targeted at eliminating rules that protect monopolies or distort competition.
By instructing agencies to identify and repeal regulations that "raise prices or reduce choices for consumers," the administration is promoting a more open, innovation-friendly economy.
The FTC's public inquiry boosts this broader agenda by collating examples of how current rules harm competition. If fully implemented, the move could lower costs, catalyse entrepreneurship, and solidify the U.S. position in global trade negotiations.
FTC Chairman Andrew N. Ferguson said in the official press release that regulations that limit innovation and protect dominant players "need to be eliminated or modified."

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk has made a bold prediction in light of Tesla's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44787364/tesla-deploys-unsupervised-fsd-at-giga-texas-to-move-cars-from-factory-to-lot">Full Self-Driving (FSD)</a> technology.
What Happened: In a post on social media platform X by Tesla's official handle on Tuesday, the company hailed its vehicles' FSD capabilities and said, ‘One day, it'll drive itself right to your house.'

Why It Matters: Musk's prediction comes in when Tesla has showcased how its vehicles have logged in over 50,000 driverless miles between its manufacturing facilities in California and Texas.
However, others do not share the billionaire&#8217;s optimism regarding FSD, with Tesla Bull Ross Gerber calling FSD <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44068902/tesla-fsd-like-a-12-year-old-driving-compared-to-waymo-says-ross-gerber-warning-uber-has-got-to-be-hurting">‘Like a 12-year-old driving'</a>, compared to the likes of Alphabet's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) Waymo.

While Tesla lags behind Waymo, Musk has teased the arrival of Cybercab ride-hailing services in Austin, Texas.
Elsewhere, the Trump administration's tariffs on China could prove to be a problem for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44831422/donald-trumps-145-tariffs-on-china-could-disrupt-teslas-cybercab-semi-production-report">Tesla's Cybercab ambitions</a>.

Facebook has been found hosting several groups where Uber and DoorDash driver accounts are being traded, thereby circumventing the necessary screening procedures and potentially posing a safety risk.
What Happened: Meta Platform&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) Facebook is hosting numerous groups where Uber driver accounts can be bought or rented. This allows individuals to drive for Uber (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) and other rideshare and delivery apps like DoorDash (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DASH#NASDAQ">DASH</a>) without undergoing the mandatory screening process or even having a valid driver&#8217;s license, revealed an <a href="http://A recent investigation by the Tech Transparency Project (TTP), an initiative of the Campaign for Accountability (CfA)">investigation </a>by the Tech Transparency Project (TTP), an initiative of the Campaign for Accountability (CfA).
Meta did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment. 
The investigation identified 80 such&nbsp;Facebook groups with a combined&nbsp;membership of over 800,000 users engaged in this trade, in clear violation of Meta&#8217;s policies against fraud. The existence of these groups suggests that content moderation on Facebook is not being effectively enforced.
Within these groups, users shared listings of Uber and DoorDash driver accounts available for sale or rent, while potential buyers inquired about the availability of these accounts across different U.S. cities, states, and even international markets.
Michelle Kuppersmith, CfA Executive Director, stated, &#8220;This&nbsp;is just the latest example&nbsp;of Meta failing to rid&nbsp;its platform of illicit black&nbsp;markets.&#8221; 
&#8220;By&nbsp;facilitating this market of fake&nbsp;accounts, Meta is exacerbating a&nbsp;serious public safety problem,&#8221; Kuppersmith added.

Why It Matters: This isn&#8217;t the first time that Meta has been in the spotlight for its content moderation policies. In 2022, a TTP report revealed that some sellers were offering document packages for account verification, including IDs and Social Security cards. Meta later deleted those accounts.
In January, Meta shifted its content moderation approach, moving from third-party fact-checkers to a user-driven &#8220;community notes&#8221; model for flagging questionable content.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg explained, "So, we&#8217;re going to continue to focus these systems on tackling illegal and high-severity violations, like terrorism, child sexual exploitation, drugs, fraud and scams." However, he also stated, &#8220;Too much harmless content gets censored, too many people find themselves wrongly locked up in ‘Facebook jail,&#8217; and we are often too slow to respond when they do.&#8221;
Notably, this investigative report comes at a time when Zuckerberg is facing a historic antitrust trial that could lead to the disintegration of his social media empire comprising Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.

On Tuesday, April 15, U.S. markets closed lower amid ongoing tariff uncertainty and weakness in consumer and healthcare stocks.

On the economic front, the NY Empire State Manufacturing Index improved to -8.1 in April from -20 in March. Export prices were unchanged in March, while import prices declined by 0.1% following a 0.2% gain in February.
