Such a nice interview though. It's cool that something like this is happening on a mainstream platform like Jon Stwarts Daily Show

Yeah. Lina Khan being appointed to the FTC is one of the most exciting things I've seen out of the federal government in my entire life. Anti-trust enforcement has been basically dead for longer than I've been alive, and her appointment sprung it back to life. Yes, there's been some stumbles there (the Activision merger suit was famously badly played), but you expect some missteps when resurrecting a dead agency with strong headwinds.

If you're a fan of reigning in the big tech companies, the admin that appointed someone like Khan deserves another four years.
