What is the consumer welfare standard? It's a guardrail that ensures 1) the primary beneficiaries of the antitrust laws are the people, not big business; and 2) that unelected judges are not allowed to use antitrust to advance their own political preferences. 2/5 — PolitiTweet.org

There’s a lot of talk about antitrust legislation this Congress. One thing lost in many proposed reforms: the consumer welfare standard is not a get-out-of-jail-free card for Big Tech. We don’t need to change the law, we need to enforce it. 1/5 — PolitiTweet.org

Let's also note what the consumer welfare standard is NOT: it is not a narrow concern with price. As Judge Bork wrote, it encompasses “innovation, choice among differing products" and quality. That more than covers the ways in which markets like Big Tech are failing us. 3/5 — PolitiTweet.org
