US politicians attacking the FTC using the same tax payer money and Sony nonsense. Did they get the memo from Xbots on twitter?


That FOREIGN company is creating millions of jobs in USA and they have a HQ there.

Everyone of those Republicans need to be investigated to see if they were paid to start this. If they weren't ill bite and say they may be right.

Hey, FTC dropped the ball in court and i agree they need to let it go now, as much as it pains me to say, they aint equipped to take on MS.
They were never equipped since they have been gutted over years and especially under the Trump administration. They did the best they could with the little Resources they had. With a bipartisan congress and a Presidential admin not willing to fully back them up... what could they really do? The only fuck up they had was filing that Injunction.

Ahh, attacking a company with an HQ in your country as foreign. Classy. Chauvinism and racism for the win.

And this is exactly why the FTC lost not that they did a horrible job... Because they didn't. Microsoft bankrolls republicans, who then turn around and lobby and bully for them. The judge was either threatened or paid off.

Either way Sony should remove their HQ from a country who is now treating them as a hostile foreign entity. They have invested and generated billions into our economy only to be done dirty... Very gross to see.
Microsoft bankrolls Democrats too. Big tech is very left wing.

Big tech is definitely not 'left wing'. They lobby both parties since our political system is corrupt, but all billionaires and corporations do that. Lina Khan thankfully is not going to be pressured by a group of republicans, so hopefully FTC holds out until the August administrative court.

POS company can't do anything on their own merits.

We haven't seen a single Democrat come out and attack the FTC or Japan.
That's because it's a Democrat administration and it's led by a Biden appointee. This is just regular politics.

Are you trying to deny big tech is left wing? 😄

I'd like to keep the focus on MS and Acti, unless you want devolve into a political debate, but tech companies, silicon valley, and their ceo's especially are not 'left wing'.

Big tech is not left wing, they do love to virtue signal.

But I'd love to know how companies that union bust, offshore production and revenue, etc, are left wing.
