FTC’s Lina Khan Gives An Exit Interview & Meta Makes Big Changes 01/07/25

With just over a week left in her role as Chair of the Federal Trade Commission, Lina Khan reflects on her four years regulating corporate mergers and acquisitions. In an extended sit down interview, she discusses her hopes for her successor and weighs in on big tech’s goals to stay big in the coming years. Meta is making big changes; the UFC’s Dana White will join the company’s board, and Meta is rolling out “community notes,” ending its third party fact-checking program in favor of a model similar to what’s used on X. Plus, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is stepping down.
