Comment on FTC removes Lina Khan-era posts about AI risks and open source
hazardous_area@sh.itjust.works 2 days agoYou talk about it like she just sat there, once she was appointed.
I think that discounts the agency that Lina Khan had and still has post appointment.
She speaks quite passionately about pro consumer economic policies and actually started cracking down on some of monopolies that hurt consumers. Hell of a lot more than I’ve seen from many US politicians recently.
Either way I don’t think I’m changing your mind so I’ll stop here.

Her main problem was that she went after companies over things that weren’t illegal purely for ideological reasons, knowing the FTC didn’t have a hope in hell of winning. It’s a terrible strategy and it massively hurt them, along with consumers ironically, as it made the FTC look incompetent, weaponized, and gave the big tech companies wins on the board that could be used for future cases.
