A lot of theatrics on this here hellsite re: Meta's antitrust victory over the FTC. (FTC's own spox disgracefully leading the way!) But if you're interested in, you know, "facts" and "evidence," @geoffmanne and I have you covered. 👇
Bipartisan demagoguery is no substitute for actual antitrust analysis! On a new @TechPolicyPdcst, @geoffmanne (@laweconcenter) and @corbinkbarthold break down a judge’s ruling (politely) laughing the FTC’s antitrust lawsuit against Meta out of court.

Reagan's first FCC Chair, Mark Fowler, blasts the current FCC Chair for betraying the First Amendment. Fowler set in motion the 1987 repeal of the Fairness Doctrine, the conjoined twin of the news distortion policy. He knows how dangerous government meddling in speech is
