Federal Trade Commission Reporting Channel

Currently, the FTC processes all informant submissions regarding anticompetitive corporate behavior by email, which has several flaws, including inefficiency and privacy risks. This project recommends that the FTC develop a smart reporting channel with open source software to modernize its informant tools. The proposed user interface would identify the category of violation, educate the informant, and expedite report processing and authentication. The underlying open source code would further guarantee the privacy and security of submissions and any subsequent communication.

This project was completed as part of the 2022 Tech Executive Leadership Initiative (TELI) hosted in conjunction with the Tech Talent Project. You can learn more about TELI here.
