Agree absolutely. No child-nor most adults-can address/understand all the ever-growing tactics used by social media co’s to manipulate people. Regulating the business model is required to safeguard democracy and public.

Wall St can whine all they want about Khan and tell Harris’ lieutenants that they want her gone. But the fact of the matter is that the person delivering on the Harris promise to lower drug prices, especially insulin, and go after middlemen (in her policy page!) is Lina Khan.

Bravo FTC for protecting American health consumers from skyrocketing drug prices. Under Lina Khan commission continues to place people before the special interests. Public health ftc.gov/news-events/ne…

What happens to all the data gathered from SNAP participants when, for example, there are partnerships such as DoorDash or others? Dept. of Agriculture & advocates should address. for ex, joinforage.com/partners/doord… #PublicHealth

The The New York Times on Zuckerberg, Meta & politics illustrates his lack of qualifications ( to be generous) running a key digital media service. Underscores why common carrier type regulation of platforms in a democracy is required. But happy to start regulating the data/ad practices!

Such a combine requires rigorous antitrust & consumer protection review. Has diversity/civil rights implications as well. Liberty Broadband Stock Soars on Charter Merger Counter Offer thewrap.com/liberty-broadb…

Bravo FTC. Expect you to also pursue use in many ways by largest brands with their adtech & platform partners.
