.@CharlottesWWWeb tells me Amazon's petition for Lina Khan's recusal likely hinges on a close read of Khan's past statements. "Saying 'there are problems here that should be addressed' is different than saying Amazon has violated the antitrust laws." https://t.co/EDZUmOukcc — PolitiTweet.org

The petition cites Khan's employment at Open Markets, her 2017 Amazon paper, and her role in the 2019-2020 House antitrust investigation of Big Tech. It argues that courts have previously reversed FTC actions led by commissioners who are perceived not to be impartial. — PolitiTweet.org

Amazon has formally requested that FTC Chair Lina Khan be recused from all Amazon-related cases before the commission, saying her track record advocating tough antitrust enforcement and highlighting issues with Amazon suggest she "has already made up her mind." https://t.co/NPYrZoI77K — PolitiTweet.org

Microsoft takes a swipe at some of its Silicon Valley peers, and says that while its policy is to inform customers or users when it can if they are the target of a subpoena or warrant, not all tech platforms observe the same practice. — PolitiTweet.org

In his prepared remarks, Burt says Microsoft receives as many as 10 secret gag orders every day and up to 3,500 per year, accounting for as much as a third of all law enforcement requests the company gets. That's from an internal review of LE requests stretching back to 2016. — PolitiTweet.org

As part of his testimony, Burt is also expected to share new data about the law enforcement requests Microsoft routinely receives from the government. — PolitiTweet.org

This comes after Microsoft said this month it had received a subpoena during the Trump administration that later turned out to target a congressional staffer. A gag order kept Microsoft from disclosing the subpoena for years, the company has said. — PolitiTweet.org

"We are not suggesting that secrecy orders should only be obtained through some impossible standard," Burt will say. "We simply ask that it be a meaningful one .... Without legislative reform, abuses will continue to occur -- and they will continue to occur out of sight." — PolitiTweet.org

Microsoft’s Tom Burt will say it’s far too easy for the government to target Americans’ emails, texts and other data hosted by cloud providers and to prevent companies from disclosing those subpoenas, according to selected remarks shared by Microsoft ahead of the hearing. — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: Microsoft will argue before House Judiciary tomorrow that the US government abuses gag orders to keep subpoenas and warrants secret in law enforcement probes, and will call for new restrictions on their use. — PolitiTweet.org

In a related decision, Judge Boasberg dismissed a similar suit brought by dozens of states against Facebook, saying they basically waited too long to challenge the Instagram and WhatsApp deals. https://t.co/wYE42lA6rJ https://t.co/gMyEUsuEzN — PolitiTweet.org

This is a setback for the FTC (though under its new chair Lina Khan, a fresh complaint is surely coming) and could lead to more calls on Congress to update US antitrust law. — PolitiTweet.org

NB: More specifically, the judge said the agency didn't do enough to back up its claim that Facebook holds a monopoly in social networking. — PolitiTweet.org

Just in: A federal judge has dismissed the FTC's antitrust complaint against Facebook, saying it was worded too vaguely. The judge is giving the FTC another chance, though, if it files an amended complaint. https://t.co/394anSsitz https://t.co/pSByMO371V — PolitiTweet.org
