The FTC is aiming to add the professionals to its staff by the fall 2024.
The Federal Trade Commission will look to add child psychologists to its staff to advise its efforts on regulating the internet. Democratic Commissioner Alvaro Bedoya said the FTC plans to add a psychologist to its staff by next fall, if not sooner, and said he is embarrassed he hasn’t previously focused on how the media impacts children.

He says he hopes to grow the number of psychologists on staff, but first, he is meeting with experts and exploring different configurations before coming to a hiring decision.
