Existing U.S. antitrust laws can address tech monopolies, DOJ antitrust chief says

 

The U.S. Justice Department antitrust chief said on Friday that existent U.S. antitrust laws are "flexible enough" to address harm caused by technology companies, in the face of growing criticism that such laws cannot tackle tech monopolies.

 

BOSTON, Nov 8 (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department antitrust chief said on Friday that existent U.S. antitrust laws are "flexible enough" to address harm caused by technology companies, in the face of growing criticism that such laws cannot tackle tech monopolies.

 

Makan Delrahim spoke at an antitrust conference at Harvard Law School hosted by the Computer & Communications Industry Association, which counts companies like Amazon AMZN.O , Facebook FB.O and Alphabet's Google GOOGL.O as members.

 

"Some have suggested changing the antitrust laws, creating new agencies or even regulating the conduct of some firms … it bears repeating that our existent framework is flexible enough to detect harm in any industry and emerging ones," Delrahim said.

 

The Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission have come under pressure from lawmakers, who have accused them of wasting time arguing who would investigate which tech company, amid a broad investigation into firms like Google, Amazon, Facebook and Apple.

 

Delrahim also warned tech companies that collecting vast troves of consumer data could create competition concerns in the eyes of regulators. He did not name any company specifically.

 

His comments on data and privacy mirrored concerns from European antitrust regulators , who have penalized tech companies for using consumer data in anti-competitive ways.

 

"Although privacy fits primarily within the realm of consumer protection law, it would be a grave mistake to believe that privacy concerns can never play a role in antitrust analysis,” Delrahim said.

Yup.

Since Trump is shutting off their slush funds, the D Party Con is desperate to have their candidates self-fund. A self funding billionaire is a huge windfall for them.

KT McFarland, who worked for Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and Trump, said she was absolutely stunned that WAPO had a transcript of Flynn's call with Kislyak. Stunned.

Had to be highest level.

Tippy top.

Come to think of it, POTUS is going to CA today

So the … and . could be C and A, our way, not Morse code.

The sweet spot is a matter of statistical analysis.

When the top 4 companies in an industry control 75% of the industry, they have monopoly power.

 

But here, I think, is the index that Anons would instinctively abhor.

California-China Climate Institute

LEADERSHIP

UC Berkeley’s California-China Climate Institute is led by former California Governor Jerry Brown in partnership with Xie Zhenhua, China’s Special Representative for Climate Change Affairs. The Institute receives guidance and support from expert policy and operations staff, business, academic and climate advisory committees and a governing board of top university and government officials.

 

COLLABORATION

The California-China Climate Institute is housed jointly at UC Berkeley’s School of Law — through its Center for Law, Energy & the Environment — and College of Natural Resources and will partner with the Institute of Climate Change and Sustainable Development at Tsinghua University — one of China’s preeminent research institutions. The Institute will also work closely with other University of California campuses, departments and leaders.

 

ACTION

Launched in September 2019, this groundbreaking initiative was established to spur further climate action through joint research, training and dialogue in California and China. This Institute will inform national policy makers, foster dialogue and cooperation, and promote the implementation of climate solutions at all levels.

Haven't heard Jerry Brown's name in years.

He's been busy being a traitor, apparently.
