I believe Matt Stoller, who studies and writes about monopolies is collecting feedback about the effects of this merger on professionals in the industry [0].
From the sound of it you could be a valuable voice in there. The merger will probably have to go through approval in DC. Perhaps if sufficient evidence is collected it could be blocked in accordance with anti-trust law. He wrote about how there is a heap of evidence about Adobe’s history of mergers and acquisitions which only lead to reduction of consumer choice.

- scyzoryk_xyz 4y agoDefinitely over the past two years antitrust went from a niché topic that nobody knew anything about to front page news. Something definitely did change. With Lina Khan heading FTC antitrust and public sentiment on board I think we can expect real progress in the coming years. However, it is also clear that discrete and methodical protection of monopoly power is also significant source of stability and income for all political parties.
