"In 2021, the virtual world was the future of the internet. The pandemic had sequestered everyone indoors, heightening the appeal of digital communities. Facebook rebranded to Meta — a sign of the tech giant’s investment in and commitment to the metaverse as the future of the internet. Despite losing billions in VR, Meta released an upgraded version of the Quest 2 headset and began focusing on launching a higher-end Quest Pro. At the end of the year, it announced its plan to plunk down a rumored $400 million to buy the independent VR gaming studio Within, maker of a popular fitness game called Supernatural. Less than five years later, however, it shut the game down, leaving a community of avid fans bereft.
To former FTC chair Lina Khan, there’s a lesson in the ultimate fate of Supernatural, and the community that had grown up around it. She’d know — because she tried and failed to block Meta from acquiring Within.
“You need to have some regulatory humility because you don’t always know on the front-end how certain products are meaningful for certain communities,” says Khan. The FTC’s Meta lawsuit was often framed as an abstract attempt to rein in Big Tech. But in the end, the acquisition’s human cost was obvious — and an example of precisely why antitrust law matters. “Bringing to light that [Supernatural] was a core way for communities to stay healthy shows that there were real stakes here.”"

Big Market statt Big Tech!
Die USA haben ihre Tech-Monopolisten. China hat seine massive staatliche Förderung. Beides ist nicht das, was wir in Europa unter einer funktionierenden Marktwirtschaft für digitale Dienstleistungen verstehen. Wir müssen unseren eigenen Weg gehen.https://kaffeeringe.de/2026/01/04/big-market-statt-big-tech/

"One of Biden's best photocopier kickers was and is Lina Khan. She embodies the incredible potential of a fully operational battle-station, which is to say that she embodies the awesome power of a skilled technocrat who is also deeply ethical and genuinely interested in helping the public."

#Harris’s message should have been: “We’re going to break up the monopolies, you know, we’re going to go after Wall Street. There’s a lot of Americans out there who hate Wall Street, you know.”
But, of course, it wasn't.
Now, #LinaKhan, the former FTC chair in the #Biden administration, will be in Wall Street’s backyard, in Zohran Mamdani's transition team. During her time at FTC, Khan brought multiple suits against private equity and #bigTech monopolies.

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has announced the co-chairs for his transition team. The all-female group includes former Federal Trade Commission chair Lina Khan, former first deputy mayor Maria Torres-Springer, United Way of New York City head Grace Bonilla, Melanie Hartzog, former deputy mayor for health and human services, and political consultant Elana Leopold. Here's more from @CNN.

Khan discusses how the business model of the ad-driven internet drives harmful behavior. @pluralistic and #LinaKhan disagree about the role of #Section230 in exacerbating this issue. Khan discusses how 230 has shielded algorithmic feed curation and how it maybe doesn’t deserve the protection. Doctorow challenges that the issue isn’t 230 (which he says protects new entrants), but rather lack of privacy protections (which, tbf, Khan nods along to).

I arrived late but caught @pluralistic talking about the post-American Internet. Now, the inimitable #LinaKhan discusses the dangerous ouroboros of cloud providers building AI models and benefiting from the consumption of their services… And “now, instead of McKinsey made me do it, they just say AI made me do it”

The Federal Trade Commission has removed at least three blog posts authored by the staff of former FTC Chair Lina Khan. The posts were about AI-related topics. Here’s more from @Gizmodo:

"My guest today has been part of that [right-left] convergence. As head of Joe Biden’s Federal Trade Commission, #LinaKhan’s efforts to break up corporate monopolies earned her praise from figures like Bannon and then-Senator (now vice president) JD Vance. So we’re going to talk with her about whether this interesting right-left overlap is likely to endure. And also, whether her #antimonopoly diagnosis actually addresses America’s deepest problems."

@dangillmor Benefitting from #LinaKhan's excellent team at #FTC, the #democrats had ample opportunities (but no gumption nor #politicalwill) to #BreakUpBigTech - now all the stars have seemingly aligned for #tRump and his constellation of #billionaire cronies to harvest from their #corrupt exploits.🤦♂️🤦♀️

#LinaKhan: " “A.I.’s Sputnik moment.”? As an #antitrust enforcer, I see a different metaphor. #DeepSeek is the canary in the coal mine. It’s warning us that when there isn’t enough competition, our tech industry grows vulnerable to its Chinese rivals, threatening U.S. geopolitical power in the 21st century."

Not as clear as I want it to be, but I'm trying to get into the habit of knocking out longer essay pieces without as much polish. Not because I want to be a less polished writer, but b/c I too often allow perfect to be an enemy of good.
Check it out, let me know what you think, style, word choice, content, etc

Good #Sunday reading #MustShare
May Harris & the #progressive win🙏"The turn to pocketbook #progressivism by both Biden & #Harris has 1 great thinker & political strategist in common, & tt's Sen #ElizabethWarren. Early in Biden’s admin, Warren was a source of both ideas & people. Some of Biden’s best & most effective appointees were part of Warren-world. They incl #RohitChopra, who heads #CFPB, which was Warren’s idea, & #FTC Chair #LinaKhan, who resurrected #antitrust."

As I was saying, #FTC director #LinaKhan is doing a marvelous #TrustBusting job, good for competition, good for US consumers, and therefore a sound measure for fighting longterm inflation by price gouging.
So much so that a rightwing propaganda piece "BY TOM CAMPBELL*, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR" tries to argue for her dismissal:

(Don't bother reading it...YES, Khan is not good for monopolies and oligopolies, s/: surprise! /s.)
