WASHINGTON — Federal regulators have initiated a new inquiry into YouTube regarding its platform policies, according to a report published by Bloomberg News.

The Federal Trade Commission’s probe centers on how the Alphabet-owned video platform enforces rules and handles digital governance. Watchdogs have increasingly scrutinized tech giants over user protections, algorithmic transparency, and market influence.

Neither YouTube nor the FTC has issued an official statement, but the investigation signals Washington's sustained push to hold leading social media platforms accountable.
