Lina Khan is a key architect of an aggressive attempt by Washington to rein in tech giants. Amazon may be next.

Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chair Lina Khan will reportedly meet with representatives from Amazon (AMZN) next week in what could be the last face-to-face between the parties before the commission files an antitrust suit against the e-commerce giant.

I appreciate that they tried but God damn did the FTC shit the bed with that case. Their arguments were awful and they threw so much pointless shit at the wall that even the judge was getting fed up with their BS.

Honestly there wasn’t much of a case to begin tbh. Even the CMA’s best resort was going to cloud and that turned out also to be BS as well.
