"“Around 75% of the new players benefiting from European regulation come from the United States,”" she said - a feature, a bug, something else 🤔?

Antitrust people might remember Hipster Antitrust and the dismissive commentary, e.g. www.pymnts.com/cpi-posts/an... Will the same magazine now feature Gangster Antitrust?

More shenanigans in US antitrust. How moving from technocratic decision-making to shambles takes only one quick step. www.antitrustinstitute.org/work-product...

Unbearable: every step of Biden's FTC enforcement was criticized by many commentators. Current Executive acts egregiously, latest here: www.wsj.com/politics/pol..., and so-called thought leaders remain silent.

Do they reveal that Alaska will be part of the USSR? www.npr.org/2025/08/16/n...

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.

Today, the Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division salutes the President’s decision to revoke Executive Order 14036 www.justice.gov/opa/pr/state... a tongue-in-cheek thread rephrasing what this really means.

While the past years have seen a slew of social media posts against Neo-Brandeis antitrust, I see much less criticism against America First Antitrust. This piece starts to fill that gap: www.promarket.org/2025/08/11/t... Rule of law ignored.

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."

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? ✏️CERRE's take: cerre.eu/publications...

So much for freedom of expression: www.lemonde.fr/internationa... Unlikely to recommend any PhD student to apply for a study visit in the US. The risk factor is too high. Bit by bit, globalization is eroded.

"Despite the complicated new rules, a handful of developers have taken advantage of the opportunity to distribute their apps outside of Apple’s walls"

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?
