On CNBC, @chopraftc says the tech industry has faced “extremely lax oversight.” “It bugs the hell outta me that we see so much reduction in investment in sectors where some of these firms dominate, and that’s not a country or an economy we should want to live in." — PolitiTweet.org

The committee is investigating Facebook over reports that it cut off some third-party apps from its API. And it’s reaching back to Amazon’s battles with book publishers from 2009-2015. — PolitiTweet.org

The requests show the breadth of the committee’s interests — ranging from what, if any, data Amazon may be withholding from third-party sellers to Facebook’s use of Onavo (which critics say helped Facebook identify and eliminate rivals) to Google’s tying of proprietary apps. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m just getting around to reading Judge Chhabria’s order on Facebook’s motion to dismiss, and there’s a lot to digest. But I’m particularly amused by his barely concealed disdain for EULAs, ToS and other legalese that companies know full well nobody reads or understands https://t.co/VuCkL8Uriv — PolitiTweet.org

Not sure how he came up with €120K but it ends up being a really interesting number. Stick that in an index fund for 30 years and thanks to the magic of compound interest, you’ll have ~ €1M by 55, or enough to pay yourself €25-35K annually even if you never saved another penny — PolitiTweet.org

Speaking at a Fordham University law conference, France’s top competition regulator, Isabelle de Silva, is somewhat negative on breaking up big tech companies. A better answer, she says, is sector-specific regulators and regulation on things like elections, hate speech, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Experts say it reflects how the FTC is beginning to zero in on specific types of conduct and theories of harm. But they also say there’s tremendous pressure for the FTC to look like it’s being proactive and aggressive, esp. as states and international regulators spool up, too. — PolitiTweet.org
