Lina Khan was in power for years and didn't do anything about this.

Closest thing was a case where she blocked Sanderson Farms from being acquired but that was poultry.

She was starting to concentrate on the Ag consolidation [0] but my interpretation is she targeted tech first due to the industry's somewhat weaker political position in both admins.

She also didn't touch Comcast - and they are the kingmakers in PA and DE.

Yes going after tech is the populist thing to do and she did that.

As usual Comcast never gets touched and farm owners might as well write the laws themselves.
