  1. Lina Khan, former genocide Joe appointee, who didn't resign in protest of the genocide is being praised by the corporate socialists. Mamdani who participated in the uncommitted movement also appears to be a hypocrite!

    It's wild how different the standards are between Khan and Harris. Probably because the DSA and the corporate socialists are full of shit!

  3. Make no mistake. #LinaKhan is a warrior for #ConsumerProtections and the broader but sometimes more nuanced questions regarding monopolists and their intersection with technology markets.

  9. Mother Jones | A Little Law Gives Hope That Government Can Suck Less and Make People’s Lives Better by Sophie Hurwitz

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    Effective October 1 2026, New York City will enforce a “Click‑to‑Cancel” rule that requires companies to make ending an online subscription as simple as signing up, allowing consumers to cancel by the same digital method rather than in‑person, by mail or through lengthy phone queues. The rule, announced by Mayor Zohran Mamdani, DCWP Commissioner Sam Levine, and former FTC Commissioner Lina Khan, follows a failed federal attempt and builds on similar state laws in California, Maryland, and Colorado. It aims to curb “subscription traps” used by major firms such as Uber and Adobe, which have faced lawsuits for hard‑to‑cancel recurring services, and is expected to save New Yorkers between $21.5 million and $162.5 million annually. Businesses that violate the rule will face civil penalties starting at $525 per violation, with complaints filed through the city’s Department of Consumer and Worker Protection and enforced via 311 calls. The initiative is part of a broader city effort to curb predatory pricing and hidden “junk fees,” which researchers estimate cost the average family of four over $3,200 per year.

  14. "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.”"

    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.
