- Reposted by Daniel HanleyThe Post layoffs are an incalculable loss for local journalism, and one that we won't recover from anytime soon. But as billionaires destroy beloved institutions, it’s our job to build new ones. The @51st.news can't fill this void alone, but I think we owe it to DC to try. 51st.news/dc-bezos-was...
- The final version of Tara Pincock and I's paper detailing the intrinsic fairness foundations in antitrust law was just published in the latest online version of the Washington & Lee Law Review. Enjoy! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

- Yet another letter from members of congress urging the FTC and DOJ to enforce the Robinson-Patman Act. Good! www.judiciary.senate.gov/press/rep/re... (this is, by my count, the fifth letter from lawmakers advocating for RPA enforcement).

The suit was abandoned in May by the Trump FTC just before it was to be un-redacted. We went to court to get it unsealed & won.

- A good heuristic to determine if antitrust scholarship is worth reading is if there is a favorable citation to Senator Sherman's quote about not tolerating "a king over...the necessaries of life." 21 Cong. Rec. 2457 (1890).

- Given the recent Epic Games ruling and controlling law, Google’s (attempted) move to kill all alternative methods of installing apps on Android and to require all applications to go through its exclusive system would violate antitrust laws. tuta.com/blog/google-...

- Corporations want our entire society to bend to their will. Delaware gave corporations basically everything just short of complete control and has an entire legislative apparatus devoted to appeasement—and that's apparently just not enough. www.wsj.com/opinion/why-...

- FYI. We don’t have to accept efficiency as a synonym for firing workers. We can block/limit job-cutting strategies and incentivize firms to pursue efficiency built on skill and human input.
- I think the AWS outage is a warning shot. It’s clear the cloud must be regulated as a public utility and Signal must be updated to support decentralized, user-operated servers to break free from dominant cloud providers. What do others think?

- Reposted by Daniel Hanley📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms). It’s also concerning. 1/
- Reminder: SCOTUS asked the Solicitor General for their input on the Duke Energy Carolinas lawsuit—a incredibly important case that could kneecap yet another aspect of Section 2. www.scotusblog.com/cases/case-f...

- I cannot think of a more perfect moment for Linux and Apple than right now. Software developers should use Microsoft’s purposeful abandonment of Windows 10 (and the hundreds of millions of PCs that still run it) to free themselves from the company’s control. www.tomshardware.com/software/ope...

- Excited to share my new @openmarkets.bsky.social expert brief: “The Enduring Force of the Federal Antitrust Laws.” As I detail in this new paper, despite decades of judicial retreat, the federal antitrust laws remain powerful tools to fight monopoly power and corporate domination.

- Finally, a decent decision from the Supreme Court. Today, the Court denied a petition to get rid of the per se rule on tying. This is incredibly important (E.g., Google ad tech district court decision!). www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?...

- There’s something truly terrifying about how casually tech oligarchs now describe their plans to restructure society. They are publicly pitching to investors and governments a future where we are all obedient subjects under their control.
