They were in the middle of anti trust lawsuits where they were going to force google to sell off chrome.

Lina Khan had like 5 antitrust suits open against the biggest corporations in the US.

She was appointed by Biden and fired by Trump

This article is about a law they just made to make it as easy to cancel services as it is to sign up.

So yeah they've been doing a lot recently
