The doj doesn't have a basic understanding of how computers work, how networks work, how computer security works. They cannot effectively regulate a world they do not understand.
- CharlieDigital 3y agoThey are not regulating computers, they are regulating markets.
- danielmarkbruce 3y agoIn this case... the largest submarket of....computers. If you think one can regulate the market for X without understanding how X works... you should work at the DOJ or FTC. Lina Khan has a job there waiting, I'm sure.
- asadotzler 3y agoIf you think computers get a special opt out from anti-trust checkbox, you should work for the Trump people.
- danielmarkbruce 3y agoHave a real discussion. No one is suggesting an opt-out. The suggestion is for regulators to understand the markets they regulate. And, Trump is just as clueless and big tech bashing for political gain as Biden.
- CharlieDigital 3y agoIf you think the regulators understand nothing about computers, operating systems, app markets, privacy, and security, then I'd say you should go get a nice consulting gig with the DoJ because clearly you are more informed and insightful than even their most senior resources.
- dragonwriter 3y agoPedantically, the regulators on this actually work at FTC, not DoJ. DoJ’s role is certain aspects of enforcement, not regulation.
- danielmarkbruce 3y agoHalf the people on hacker news are more informed and insightful than ftc/doj in this domain. They are clueless. And they don't pay well. Half the people here would be taking a pay cut to get involved with them.
