The Biden FTC is on a roll.

It banned noncompete clauses.

It blocked the Kroger/Albertsons merger that would send grocery bills skyrocketing.

Now it's taking action against Adobe for allegedly trapping users in pricey subscriptions.

This is government working for the people.

@rbreich All incredibly welcome, but let's not forget that the traditional big industry approach to this kind of action is just to spend money dragging out the legal battles until a. Republican president gets in and kills the action against the corporates.

Starting the ball rolling is welcome but it's going to be a decade before we'll know whether it's succeeded or not.
