Antitrust enforcement is a deeply conservative project. I’m pleased to release this paper laying out my vision for America First Antitrust, which was the basis for a speech I gave yesterday to @CPInst and @AmerCompass. https://t.co/HZFpzXtOTn

#InnovationWeek QUESTION: What does the DOJ have to do with America winning in the last century of technological innovation? ANSWER: A whole lot but very little. The DOJ brought historic antitrust cases to stop monopolists from controlling markets, then stepped out of the way to

Americans know this all too well. They deserve to be able to purchase tickets at a fair price. Instead, they’ve had to wrestle with a dysfunctional and corrupt ticket ecosystem. That’s going to end.

For years, Ticketmaster has saddled consumers with hidden fees and teamed up with scalpers to hike ticket prices. Today, the @FTC says: No more. The Commission is suing Ticketmaster for unfair practices and violating the BOTS Act.

I had a great time talking about all things antitrust and the FTC with @DSFrancis1 at NYU last week. You can watch our conversation here:

My favorite line of the decision is the Amazon employee saying unintentional Prime signups are "an unspoken cancer."

Huge win for American consumers, thanks to our talented @FTC staff!

One of the best things antitrust authorities can do to protect consumers is help their government colleagues avoid harming competition with unwise regulations. I’m proud of the role @FTC and @JusticeATR are playing to accomplish that.

FTC announces workshop on noncompete agreements. The workshop will include discussion with policy experts, economists, advocates, and victims of unfair noncompete agreements:

Read my full remarks here:

The FTC enforces advertising laws, and the NAD enforces advertising norms, because of a common commitment to building trust around these and other matters. Industry self-regulation is better for everyone than government regulation.

Building trust means picking the right battles. Kitchen-table issues that affect all American families, and digital tech issues that impact American kids, must be at the forefront of the FTC’s consumer protection mission.

I had the honor of addressing the National Advertising Division today on the subject of trust and consumer protection, and how the @FTC can engage.

Excited to close things out with Bill Kovacic this evening, to discuss how antitrust in the Trump Administration can serve America's working people. Antitrust lies at the heart of any populism worth fighting for.

I had a great time talking with @nyulaw's Antitrust and Competition Law Society yesterday. It's wonderful see such vibrant interest in antitrust law in the next generation of young lawyers.

When things are moving very fast and people are losing their minds, it’s important to stay grounded. Turn off your phone, read scripture, spend time with friends, and remember internet fury is not real life. It’s going to be ok.

Glad to see the @FTC taking this issue head on. #AI chatbots have been linked to the deaths and self-harm of so many children. The Trump admin’s order here is saying plainly that, yes we want to win the AI war, but our kids will not be its casualties.

If future law enforcement investigations indicate that the consumer protection laws have been violated, the Commission should not hesitate to act to protect the vulnerable. Read my full statement here:

This study will require the leading chatbot companies to provide detailed information on how their products function and interact with young people. It represents a critical first step in keeping the public safe.
