Hello, World! "Antitrust laws don't need updating, big isn't bad and American success should not be punished, argues a new conservative coalition pushing back on Republicans who view antitrust action as the remedy for their grievances with Big Tech." bit.ly/2Di4hvU

The Ninth Circuit would require the judiciary to supervise how one company must structure its relationships with competitors. This is not merely aggressive; it is unprecedented. Our brief underscores how sharply this conflicts with the unanimous #SCOTUS decision in Trinko, authored by Scalia, which made clear that antitrust law imposes no duty to deal with rivals.

Last month, I got to file two amicus briefs in the Ninth Circuit antitrust case of Epic v. Google on behalf of @CmteForJustice in support of @Google's pending motions to stay and for en banc rehearing. In short, the Ninth Circuit is forcing Google to deal with its competitors by opening up its @GooglePlay ap store to its competitors. (Links below).

"The danger of today’s antitrust strategies against Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta are that they try to create artificial parity at the second tier—by forcing market leaders to share the secrets of their successes with rivals that have so far fallen short." ~ @drj_policy 1/2

"America’s antitrust enforcers say they want to protect innovation. But their current cases against Big Tech are only punishing it." Read the full article by @drj_policy in @rc_markets here: aei.org/op-eds/innovat…

Committee for Justice@CmteForJustice·
Very important issue. We wholeheartedly agree with @SenTedCruz’s statement: “The way to beat China in the AI race is to outrace them in innovation, not saddle AI developers with European-style regulations. Growth and development of new AI technologies will bolster our national security, create new jobs, and stimulate economic growth. This hearing will help us find ways to remove restraints on the AI supply chain and unleash American dominance in machine learning and next-generation computing.”
Ashley Baker@andashleysays

Great to see @SenTedCruz @SenateCommerce hosting a hearing tomorrow (10 am ET) on fostering U.S competitiveness in the AI race. More from me on this soon. The hearing with @BradSmi, @sama, and more can be viewed here: commerce.senate.gov/2025/5/winning…

What disingenuous BS from the primary driver of the #EU free speech restricting Digital Services Act who impotenly tried to use it last summer for @elonmusk to cancel interview with new @POTUS . USA drives the #AI and free speech train @ThierryBreton Get on board or get ready to be irrelevant
Thierry Breton@ThierryBreton

Welcome to Europe VP @JDVance. With all due respect, in 🇪🇺, freedom of speech is a core value of our democracy — it is non-negotiable. Never was and never will be. Proof? Even fake news are allowed (sadly, sometimes echoed by top US officials) : EU/DSA has never canceled elections—despite far-right extremists and @ElonMusk continuously pushing this lie. The DSA doesn’t regulate content; it ensures #transparency so no platform — being Chinese, Singaporean, American or European —can manipulate algorithms. In the United States, foreign companies respect US laws. It's not open for debate. In Europe, we expect the same behavior from US companies.

If you're curious how this report "outlin[es] how artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly monopolized," as described in the press release, well... it doesn't. At all. There isn't a single drop of evidence of increasing market share of any kind. This is just a list of practices that the authors believe are problematic and a list of government interventions they think should be used. The list of practices describe include self-preferencing, bundling/tying, partnerships, mergers & acquisitions, limiting interoperability / access to inputs, and exclusive dealing. Every single practice on this list can be indicative of fierce competition. And the AI space is actually fiercely competitive, as is obvious to anyone without a "monopolies everywhere" brainworm. Maybe this counts as serious analysis for Europe (two of the authors are focused on EU competition policy; the third is a U.S. journalist), but in the U.S. this is hard to interpret as anything except trolling.

Meta deserves praise from conservatives for two important moves this week. In big wins for free speech and genuine equal opportunity, @Meta ended its fact-checking program and its #DEI program. axios.com/2025/01/10/met…

An excellent brief by @reeveslawstl for @CmteForJustice on the errors of applying the essential facilities doctrine to the Google Play store:
John Reeves@reeveslawstl

Antitrust law is one of my favorite areas, and so it was a huge honor to be able to file an amicus brief on behalf of @CmteForJustice in the Ninth Circuit case of Epic, Inc. v. Google, Inc., No. 24-6256. @andashleysays @Curt_Levey drive.google.com/file/d/1M8adBY….

.@gailaslater is an excellent example of a nom that can "split the uprights." The challenges facing the FTC /DOJ this time around are unique bc of the Biden admin excesses. A successful conservative agenda must be more than "get Big Tech" at whatever cost. (1/x)
Ajit Pai@AjitPai

When the history of American efforts on #5G is written, @gailaslater should be given significant credit. She's been a tireless champion @WhiteHouse National Economic Council of forward-thinking policies to advance US leadership on #5G. Thank you for your public service, Gail!

Don’t break up American companies… break up the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals! (As I’ve said for many years.)
Ron Coleman@RonColeman

Dear @JudiciaryGOP @SenJudiciaryGOP I ask little. Let others work on the Culture War stuff and the Deep State. I defer to their expertise. Just this: 1. Create at least one new circuit court of appeals out of the Ninth 2. Dissolve the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia; integrate its judges into other circuits 3. Take a hard look at the US District Court for the District of Columbia, besides folding it into the Fourth Circuit (or something). It’s not working. Perhaps limit its subject matter jurisdiction. One judicial district should not wield so much power over the national political process merely because of zip codes. Also my friend @JoshMBlackman has a bunch of other judicial reform ideas. Hold hearings - fast. cc @mrddmia @willchamberlain
