Lina Khan is a key architect of an aggressive attempt by Washington to rein in tech giants. Amazon may be next.

Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chair Lina Khan will reportedly meet with representatives from Amazon (AMZN) next week in what could be the last face-to-face between the parties before the commission files an antitrust suit against the e-commerce giant.

      Doesn’t change the fact they still fear her, because before her the FTC chairman would bend backwards in order to promote whatever non consumer bullshit big tech needed done

      Yeah, but it’s a start. The journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step. The more we focus on it and talk about it. The more people will demand attention to it. That attention alone might help reign them in, even if a win for the FTC won’t come for a while.

      You know, unless we organize and make a 3rd political party that goes more for the people instead of their bosses. I just don’t think that will ever happen, so we got to slow walk it.
