I mentioned this in the other WEI thread and I’ll do it here again:

Instead of simply flailing our collective arms around complaining about an evil corporation, has anyone written to the respective competition authorities (such as the FTC in the US or CCI in India) about the potential anticompetitive effects of this proposal?

FTC right now has awful leadership. They only care about blocking mergers and scoring political points.

It's literally the FTC's job to block most mergers (they are required by law to block bad mergers, see https://www.ftc.gov/advice-guidance/competition-guidance/gui... for details)

Their leadership isn't "awful", their leaders are finally doing their job, for the first time in decades.

Doing their job by losing everything in court like the Activision/Microsoft case just last week? Great use of government resources.
