and also another episode of 'The EU overregulates while the US innovates.'

It seems to have been an ABA event, funding unclear from the website, program also hard to find

And what is remarkable is that no 'thought leader' is saying much, while every step by Lina Kahn was criticised.

Media Matters for America v FTC lnkd.in/e5Fzm8HT

In brief, FTC stifled freedom of expression. More specifically, the freedom of expression of a non-profit research center who 'has helped document instances of white nationalism, antisemitism and neo-Nazi rhetoric.'

FTC cast: see 8-10 and 40-42.

Given the complexity and pace of the modern economy, non-enforcement is the superior strategy lest we forego efficiency gains.

The Division has reinstated a willingness to settle merger reviews with targeted and well-crafted consent decrees that meet the Executive’s goals such as eliminating DEI initiatives.

America First Antitrust focuses on empowering American firms operate in markets, not enabling regulators and bureaucrats to rein in anticompetitive practices… We are unleashing the new American Golden Age through antitrust non-enforcement that removes regulatory burdens on firms.

The Division will use this opportunity to continue its work to recalibrate and modernize the Federal approach to competition policy to suit the needs of the Executive.

This appeared on my feed just before a post asking 'what if international law did not exist?'
Well, it seems that now, in one country, all law, whatever source, has nearly ceased to exist.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, in dissent, on the Court's ruling on universal injunctions and birthright citizenship:

"The Court’s decision to permit the Executive to violate the Constitution with respect to anyone who has not yet sued is an existential threat to the rule of law."
JUSTICE JACKSON, dissenting. I agree with every word of JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR’s dissent. I write separately to emphasize a key conceptual point: The Court’s decision to permit the Executive to violate the Constitution with respect to anyone who has not yet sued is an existential threat to the rule of law.

Would be nice to read a news story where the so-called Le Pen judgment (lesjours.fr/ressources/d...) was explained.
Noting: the number of defendants implicated; the clear motivations for the sentencing; the criminal and the civil claims.
The harm caused is palpable. Focus on this, please.

This was a fun chat, thanks to the panellists for sharing their insights.

😂Funniest take: DMA is 1 year old, too soon to tell if it will be a footballer or... a lawyer!

👉Important take: is the balance between enforcement and regulatory dialogue right?

The UK's Information Commissioner's Office has published helpful guidance on "consent or pay" models for digital platforms. ico.org.uk/for-organisa...

Why give Meta free advice on how to comply? (see example A at the end)

We are moving to an era of strategic antitrust by first eroding the independence of competition agencies. Next will come the shaping of policy. Merger free for all? (but then not much change) No more findings of dominance might be next?
