Quick reactions NEEDED, e.g. when a tech giant is about to implement practices (worse so, disguised as remedies to an antitrust infringement) which look worrisome from a competition policy perspective- and fines ex-post likely useless 👇🏽
Shall we call it “the glasnost of competition policy“?
More than anything else, the remedy process should be iterative (possibly rhyming with the enforcement - both ex-ante and ex-post - process, that should be increasingly participative)

1/ This is a how it all starts (also #teachingmaterial)
2/ The focus is on digital search engines, social media platforms and other digital content aggregation platforms (eg, G News) and not "on online shopping and e-commerce platforms." It recognizes, however, that the services provided by digital platforms are constantly changing.
3/ Soul searching in note 48: do you consider, on reflection, that Twitter is useless or valueless? (Me: WTP and WTA both very high)

Q
@literallyjustq
A little thread, which I may come back to, for all those #technophobes who blame rise in #suicide on #socialmedia.

First: legit, what rise?
Second: The actual experts do not agree with you, and your fear-mongering is likely causing more harm than good.
cf. Thomas, K, and Gunnell, D. (2010). Suicide in England and Wales 1861–2007: a time-trends analysis. International Journal of Epidemiology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2010, Pages 1464–1475.
So, first the data, from #UK (above) and elsewhere (below).

Clearly if this epidemic was *caused* by a *single* factor it would permeate all societies with social media.

LONG THREAD.

Here's a really unpopular opinion about the FTC skaters, organist, & piano teacher cases. They are heavily criticized as a symbol of the agency being out of touch or misallocating resources.

But these are good cases. The FTC was right to bring them. (1/x)
DISCLOSURE: I voted in favor of bringing these cases.

To be clear --- my claim is that they are socially valuable cases and belong in the AT agency portfolio; it is not that they should be the only cases. We will get to the agency resource arguments shortly. (2/x)
The various criticisms of the skater/ organ / piano teacher cartel cases are wrong and reveals some real structural problems in the current Neo-Brandeisian (NB) / Hipster Antitrust critique of modern antitrust. Let's discuss. But first, let's lay out the cases (3/x)
