Personal news: I am thrilled to join @CGL_Law!
The firm was founded by Jonathan Cuneo, a hero of mine and predecessor on the @HouseJudiciary. Jon stood up to powerful corporations during his career, and was a source of inspiration for me during my time as Chief Counsel of the Antitrust Subcommittee.
I look forward to working alongside an immensely talented team to advance the policy, litigation, and regulatory priorities of CGL's clients to help safeguard competition and protect consumers across the country.

Strong leadership from Proton's @andyyen:
"When dominant platforms can impose artificially high fees and preference their own services, consumers pay more and entrepreneurs build less. This legislation would restore fairness, unlock innovation and growth, and support the small businesses that are the real backbone of the economy."
Good news from the US today. AICOA, a bill that cracks down on anticompetitive practices from Big Tech was re-introduced in the Senate with bipartisan support. My quote in the Senate press release explains why @ProtonPrivacy is supporting this legislation: judiciary.senate.gov/press/r…

The fight for our competition laws has always been a David-versus-Goliath battle.
Businesses that speak up in favor of these policies do so at tremendous risk of economic retaliation. That's why AICOA includes whistleblower protections.
Counting the number of groups in Big Tech's astroturf campaign isn't the own @JosephVConiglio thinks it is.
Since AICOA is about counting (rather than eg analyzing monopoly power in a relevant market) I'll note they got an antitrust coalition of 16. Ours is more than double that

And yes I know they have experts like Josh Hammer

"AICOA is grounded in more than a century of American antitrust law, running straight back to the Sherman Act, the Clayton Act, and the bedrock principle that a monopolist cannot leverage control of an essential marketplace to crush competition. The bill would be enforced by antitrust authorities and adjudicated in American courts, where covered platforms receive the due process and affirmative defenses our legal tradition guarantees."

It is encouraging to see bipartisan action to advance a straightforward American ideal: markets work best when there is real competition—and when the biggest players can't rig the game in their own favor. It is time for Big Tech's monopolistic practices to end, and we applaud these Senators for prioritizing the interests of consumers and small businesses. We hope the Committee will advance this legislation expeditiously.

Indeed, misinformation about AICOA is already spreading fast.
It doesn't "presumptively ban" anything and it's not "European regulation."
It's based on a century of American antitrust law and principles, enforced by American courts with American due process.

It’s true what you’ve heard! AICOA is back and the coalition that helped defeat the Big Tech competition bill last time is already firing hard against it too

Great to see this—AICOA is one of the most important bipartisan efforts to restore competition online.
It’s backed by a broad coalition of businesses, organizations, and individuals who recognize that competitive markets drive innovation, lower prices, and create more opportunities for consumers and entrepreneurs alike.

Security versus fair competition is a false dichotomy. The best demonstration of this is iOS in the European Union, where competing stores exist, and these competing stores actually have a better anti-malware record than Apple’s own App Store.

Always fun chatting with my good friend @ben_guggenheim at the @washingtonpost about the implications of Google incorporating its AI products into Search.
Even though we covered a lot, I think the image adequately covers my view.
If you haven't subscribed to Ben's AI & Tech Brief, then correct that mistake immediately!

Great to see strong transatlantic opposition to the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger.
A bipartisan group of policymakers led by @sliccardo, @DeborahRossNC, and @Andreas_Schwab raised serious concerns about the deal’s impact on film, television, theatrical distribution, and beyond.

“We raise particular concern about public statements suggesting that this transaction will face minimal regulatory scrutiny or will likely receive swift approval. Such characterizations appear premature . . . Please consider this letter formal notice that any suggestions the transaction has effectively cleared regulatory hurdles are false.”

Great piece by @geneburrus on Apple kicking vibe coding apps out of the App Store: "Congress can give the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission the tools to stop all of this more quickly."

Fully EIGHTY PERCENT of the California delegation (led by @RepFriedmanCA) wrote to @AGRobBonta supporting his investigation into Paramount/WBD.
Two months ago this deal was viewed as inevitable. Now every story talks about this isn't a done deal. Tides are shifting.
Hollywood workers are losing jobs. Production is fleeing the state. Further industry consolidation deserves close scrutiny.
I led 30 California Members of Congress in supporting @AGRobBonta’s review of the Paramount-Warner Bros. deal.

ICYMI: While we’ve known this was going on for years, this new evidence paints a stark picture of how Amazon’s control over seller’s and brand’s pricing (both on and off its e-commerce platform) causes direct harm to consumers in the form of higher $$. Check out @roc_coalition to learn more!

We’re sharing new evidence in our case against Amazon clearly showing the megacorporation is involved in price fixing.
It’s clear as day: Amazon is colluding with vendors and other retailers to make your life more unaffordable.
We’ll see them in court.

The surest way to spot a monopoly? A company makes vast profits from vast markups, does a bad job, is hated by suppliers, and has no competition.
Let Steam bring their store to iOS. Let Epic bring our store to iOS. Let the best store win!

Huge congratulations to Jonathan Kanter, the amazing DOJ prosecutors, and the States who sued Ticketmaster in the last administration
And wishing an absolutely terrible day to the corrupt Trump officials that thought they could kill this case at the 11th hour with a settlement
Apr 15
It’s official: a jury found that Live Nation/Ticketmaster is a monopoly. I am so proud to have filed this case on 2024. This may be the most popular antitrust case ever. Kudos to the State AGs for finishing the job. The rule of law is alive and well.
