An earlier version of our OnlyFans story had an error about the platform’s verification system; we’ve removed the inaccurate claim by one of our sources and issued a correction. https://t.co/Bmhqmw1Pdf — PolitiTweet.org

@RationalBlonde I hear what you’re saying about NCOSE. Including their claim about the verification system was a mistake and we’re issuing a correction. The overall point of including them was to explain their role in lobbying credit card firms to make new policy, not to amplify false claims. — PolitiTweet.org

@RationalBlonde Hi Alice, thanks for bringing this to our attention. You’re absolutely right that this was an oversight on my part and I should have done more to run it down. We’re working to address this now. — PolitiTweet.org

The fake email going around apparently asks for names, addresses and dates of birth. In recent months, FTC officials have noted a wave of fraud and scams, particularly related to the pandemic. Some officials (like Khan) have faulted tech platforms for facilitating their spread. — PolitiTweet.org

As before, the FTC tries to narrowly define the market it says Facebook is dominating by specifically excluding purpose-centric platforms like LinkedIn; video sites like YouTube and even Twitter, which the FTC says is mainly for people to get news and discuss their interests. — PolitiTweet.org

The fresh complaint also includes lots more examples of companies Facebook acquired over the years and either shut down or allegedly turned against other rivals, seemingly drawing from the House probe that Lina Khan, now the FTC chair, helped lead. https://t.co/DmM4UVyWpn — PolitiTweet.org

The FTC's new suit against Facebook tries to address a key reason the judge threw out its initial complaint: It didn't cite metrics for Facebook's market power. This time, the FTC points to Facebook's number of daily/monthly users and their engaged time: https://t.co/DmM4UVyWpn — PolitiTweet.org

It'll take some time to digest this new filing fully but the key question now is whether it sufficiently addresses the concerns raised by Judge Boasberg when he threw out the first complaint (a key one being that the FTC did not do enough to back up its monopoly claim). — PolitiTweet.org

This amended complaint is about 50 percent longer than the original and repeats the same major allegations: That Facebook allegedly engaged in anticompetitive acquisitions (particularly Instagram and WhatsApp) and denied third parties access to Facebook's platform. — PolitiTweet.org
