EXCLUSIVE — FTC Commissioner Mark Meador said he hopes that the Federal Trade Commission can be a tool to help protect children online just days after the FTC announced a major settlement with pornography giant Aylo.

Meador, 40, spoke to the Washington Examiner at the FTC headquarters last week. A family man with six children, Meador touted ongoing enforcement efforts at the FTC and cases brought recently designed to mitigate harm for children online, including efforts to prevent child sexual abuse material and nonconsensual sexual content online.
