There are so many things like this that have needed fixing for such a long time. The fact that something is happening, even slowly, is so heartening.
If your reaction is wondering if this is legal then you should be interested in the passing of new laws that make it unequivocally legal. Society should be able to govern itself.
Came to say this too, basically. The FTC is currently a bright candle in the swamp.
I think we need a word for this work. Maybe disenshittification? :)
I doubt it will stay that way if Trump gets a 2nd term.
fwiw JD Vance has voiced support a few times for keeping Lina Khan who is pushing a lot of this agenda.
There is absolutely no chance Trump's donors, which include the A16Z clowns, Elon Musk, Larry Ellison, and a lot of anti-regulation people in Silicon Valley, are going to allow Lina Khan to stick around. Vice presidents have no power, and Vance is not on the ticket because Trump is interested in his opinion on the FTC. He's on the ticket because he said he wouldn't have peacefully transferred power like Pence did, and that's the only reason.
