.@vestager responds to the court defeat in Illumina/Grail today.

She notes:
- EC will continue to accept Art 22 referrals (when NCAs have jurisdiction)
- Some NCAs have in the meantime developed call-in powers & so great chances to review such deals

Today, letters of formal notice were sent to six Member States who either did not appoint a Digital Services Coordinator, yet, or did not empower it, or both. The DSA calls for a ‘Team Europe’ approach and it is important that all DSCs can actively engage. https://t.co/Yu3xargdDp

3. We’ve sent orders to Mastercard, Revionics, Bloomreach, Chase, Task Software, PROS, Accenture, & McKinsey to examine their pricing tools.

Americans deserve to know if people are being charged different prices for the same product, be it at the grocery store or online.

[Lina Khan @linamkhan]

2. As more retailers use digital tools to do business with consumers, they enjoy greater ability to set person-specific prices based on what they know about you.

@FTC’s inquiry will shed light on the opaque layer of middlemen that may enable this surveillance pricing.

[Lina Khan @linamkhan]

1. Firms harvest a trove of Americans’ personal data, from your browsing history to your biometrics. Now firms could be using this data to target you with an individualized price.

Today @FTC launched an inquiry into these surveillance pricing tactics.

There's no escaping investigations for @Apple and its AppStore.

Today, Spain's #antitrust agency has opened a new probe into unfair terms for developers & app distribution.

AI comes with unique growth & innovation power... that needs open & contestable markets to unlock its full potential.

👉Today @EU_Commission 🇪🇺, @FTC 🇺🇸, @TheJusticeDept 🇺🇸 & @CMAgovUK 🇬🇧 state our joint effort to protect competition in AI, and make sure it serves all consumers.

[Adam Thierer @AdamThierer]

FTC & DOJ officials continue to conspire with European regulators to hobble America's AI innovators using hypothetical worst-case thinking and amorphous threats. Meanwhile, the CCP sits back and laughs as China looks to boost their national AI champions.
