🚨🚨 New Competition on the Merits 🚨🚨
Is consumer protection the new antitrust? The FTC is leading with it. Yet, antitrusters have long turned up their noses at CP treating it like an intellectual backwater. That's a mistake! Want to learn CP? Start here.

As I recently wrote, there is a market need and numerous benefits in AI companies designed as Open, rather than closed or proprietary. Great to see investors agreeing with this important concept--here with AI company, Reflection ↓

One of the societal prices of not having a comparable First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. And a major flaw of age verification efforts. ↓

Digital sales taxes are profoundly stupid, and great to see @realDonaldTrump @POTUS Administration fighting France on its attempt to extract funds & punish U.S. companies.

My June @Cablefax O'Rielly's TMT Whiteboard column is now available and focuses on prediction markets. False to call activities gambling, but irrelevant, as clearly interstate commerce. Like a lot of tech policy, states must not interfere! Take a read: https://t.co/poGkr2GKWT

This preemption effort is an absolute necessity. Such a transformative technology cannot be picked apart by every layer of government, seeking crazy demands, imposing indefensible burdens, and attempting to extract obscene tax bounties.

Arguably, @fcc “won” this case but government conceded much in briefs/oral arguments that it effectively and thankfully guts entire broken process. Why would anyone pay a future forfeiture notice? It’s just a recommendation. Court says FCC wont hold nonpayment against parties.

The US Supreme Court ruled that telecommunications companies can’t immediately demand a jury trial when hit with a Federal Communications Commission fine, while saying the carriers don’t have to pay the penalty right away. https://t.co/JMf3dcH0jf
