Now @linakhanFTC, chair of US FTC. “We now see a new transatlantic era” in dealing with market power concerns then recognizes efforts of US White House and bipartisan and bicameral efforts to push antitrust legislation along with international counterparts. #disruptedtimes22 
Chair Khan is one of the many enforcers today who have very clearly and accurately tied antitrust enforcement to democracy. #disruptedtimes22
Chair Khan describes the surveillance advertising biz model of endlessly “hoovering up data and incentivizing tracking.” in a spot-on analysis of the leverage of the “new gatekeepers.” Remarkable to have a Chair who absolutely understands all of this. #disruptedtimes22
Chair Khan describes the “open first closed later” as an antitrust issue not addressed by traditional refusal to deal approaches. This is precisely what antitrust (and consumer protection) lawsuits against Facebook allege as they leveraged data to scale and then cut off.
“Serial violations and privacy violations to gain and maintain monopoly power” Chair Khan describes the integration of privacy and antitrust pretty much nailing the case study on Facebook without saying it.
