  @arstechnica @arstechnica I'd suggest setting the alt-text on your picture. I can see clearly, but I have no damn clue who that woman is. The alt-text would fix it for me and for people who have trouble seeing images. Is she CEO of Amazon? No idea. I don't pay much attention to the CEO musical chair. @yourautisticlife @arstechnica She's Lina Khan, an antitrust expert and Chair of the FTC  @arstechnica This is an actual serious attempt to address the problems posed by Big Tech. Add this to the running list of reforms Biden is enacting. But will Biden get credit for this from voters? @peter FTC is going to win this and Amazon will pay a fine of 16 seconds worth of global revenue and nothing will change  @ebooksyearn @peter why is it that the FTC can't reign them in somehow? no power to levy *real* punishing fines?  Nah, they'll just drag it out in litigation hell until there's a Republican administration, and then it'll get summarily dropped. @JessTheUnstill @ebooksyearn i sort of don't think we can just blame Republicans for this one. Silicon Valley has done an **excellent** job buying influence with Democrats. hell, Jay Carney is Amazon's head of policy.  @arstechnica Cant wait for people to start turning on a dime because they got bribed into not having a problem with it. oh how I wish the United States could keep it's problems to itself.  @arstechnica Just in time for the mouth-breathing voting public to elect Trump or DeSantis in 2024. Prove me wrong, America. F***ing prove me wrong.  @arstechnica About fucking time. Enshittification needs to stop, and *all* of the Big Five are guilty of it. |

I mean, how often do you search for a product and your results have an entire page full of Amazon links?
