The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has announced the postponement of its virtual workshop initially scheduled for February 25. The workshop was set to explore how digital platforms use design features to engage children and teenagers, encouraging them to spend more time online and return frequently.

The FTC has not yet determined a new date for the event. Updates, including the rescheduled date, will be available on the workshop's event webpage once confirmed.

The FTC's mission is to promote competition while protecting and educating consumers. It emphasizes that it will never demand money, make threats, instruct individuals to transfer money, or promise prizes. For more information on consumer topics, individuals can visit consumer.ftc.gov or report fraud at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. The FTC also encourages following its social media channels for consumer alerts and business blogs and signing up for news updates.
