Earlier, Chopra said he’s still concerned about Facebook, citing its disclosure that it’s suspended thousands of apps over concerns they may be misusing data. "It just keeps going and going, and I am concerned that the core problems in that firm are not fixed,” Chopra said. — PolitiTweet.org

Simons is testifying before House Approps, which is now asking about the Facebook settlement. Simons says suing Facebook would’ve been “cathartic for some people” but would’ve been costly. Cmmr. Rohit Chopra says the case for litigation isn’t about catharsis, but sunlight. — PolitiTweet.org

FTC Chairman Joseph Simons, in asking for an end to the common carrier exemption, just suggested that “some common carriers may be facilitating the robocalls, and if we had jurisdiction we could get at that." — PolitiTweet.org

@jessekblum @AdamThierer @nancyscola I agree in the abstract! Just because the bully pulpit effect is hard to measure doesn’t mean it’s not real. Another way to put this is that presidents play an important role in agenda-setting and framing. I’m just skeptical Trump is doing it effectively with this EO. — PolitiTweet.org

Sprint says it notified the FCC and state officials when it discovered the error. The company is now offering to return any money it improperly received as a result of the issue. https://t.co/IVTYVZHHND — PolitiTweet.org

Sprint is blaming Obama-era changes to Lifeline that “required Sprint to update how it calculates usage” of the program. Those changes, it says, caused the company to introduce an error in its systems. https://t.co/IVTYVZHHND — PolitiTweet.org

@AdamThierer @nancyscola @jessekblum Not to say they couldn’t eventually find a way, but so far the threat from the White House seems less than credible compared to, say, the regulatory risk posed by the enforcement agencies. — PolitiTweet.org

@AdamThierer @nancyscola @jessekblum In this situation, though, the jawboning seems to be having a limited effect at best. It’s not much of a Sword of Damocles if your plans keep getting rejected internally as unworkable and/or potentially unconstitutional. — PolitiTweet.org

All of this is happening at a very awkward time for Sprint, which still needs FCC approval of its merger with T-Mobile, and is defending a lawsuit by over a dozen states seeking to block the deal. https://t.co/IVTYVZHHND — PolitiTweet.org

More: Sprint tried to claim monthly credits for 885,000 customers under the US government’s Lifeline program. But those customers weren’t actually using the service, so Sprint wasn’t eligible to take the money, the FCC says: https://t.co/IVTYVZHHND — PolitiTweet.org

Antitrust enforcers are beginning to take a closer look at the link between workers and employers. At a DOJ conference, antitrust chief Makan Delrahim concedes enforcement in labor has been “uneven” but says that competition law applies here like everywhere else. — PolitiTweet.org

"Tens of thousands” makes it sound like Facebook is being super aggressive. In reality, this is not enforcement for actual violations but more like “we’re not sure what’s up with you, so” https://t.co/KlybirF9HG — PolitiTweet.org
