The Court did not say that the law is subject to strict scrutiny. The majority holds that they need not decide whether strict or intermediate scrutiny applies because the law satisfies the more stringent test. The concurrence by Judge Srini

The question before the Court in this case was whether the FTC has the power to issue substantive rules related to unfair methods of competition. The Court concludes[0] that the FTC does not have that power, and that Section 6(g) of the FTC

This is a ruling from an Administrative Law Judge, which basically functions as a strong recommendation for how the National Labor Relations Board should decide a particular case. ALJs are Article II “in house” judges that specialize in the

I wish more reporters had a law background. The article is full of things that are almost true but misleading, and a handful that are flat-out wrong. For example: > If Mehta sides with Google, the company's business practices will l

Hard to see how reducing deference could lead to less consistency. You are literally commenting on a post about the FCC reinterpreting their authority to regulate internet broadband years after the lawsuits over the original Net Neutrality

The Supreme Court is poised to decide a case this term, Loper Bright , which should help restore more finality to decisions like this. Because agencies receive considerable deference to their interpretation of the law, even when that inter

That’s true. In the same vein, competitors stagnating is not necessarily proof of anticompetitive harm. But it’s a strong clue that maybe the EU got this one wrong. The fact that Spotify doesn’t pay the Apple tax and yet still is the market

Hard to see what harm to competition there is in a market that has steadily grown, with Spotify at the top, during the entire period in which Apple was allegedly harming the market. Spotify doesn’t pay the Apple tax and yet charges the same

It would result in a significantly improved user experience… I really have no sympathy for Spotify intentionally refusing to improve their HomePod experience in order to avoid “weakening their complaint.”

Yes, see the laws in Canada and Australia. Meta actually now completely blocks all news links in Canada because if users posts them (or the news sites post them themselves) they would be obligated to pay for those links.

Sorry, I should have made clear I meant "do anything to block the merger." That's what my reference to a preliminary injunction was about, but I realize this is a tech forum and not a law forum so I should have clarified.

That's an in-house complaint before the FTC's own judge. I'm talking about a request for a preliminary injunction in Federal district court in front of a real judge. The FTC doesn't have the authority to block a transact

Did the FTC actually... do... anything in this merger? My understanding is that Nvidia called it off because there was no way the UK was going to let their one national champion in chip design be subsumed into an existing American giant. My

Yep, only in-warranty repairs (including AppleCare). If your device is out of warranty and the "repair" actually means a full replacement then you aren't getting a replacement with blood oxygen enabled.

More likely, Apple pulls blood oxygen information for new Apple Watch sales until September when they introduce a hardware redesign for the Series 10. This is a probably the least notable feature of the Apple Watch. If you live at a norma

And, in addition, there is a limited exception to the import ban for the purpose of replacing/repairing existing devices. People who bought the watches before tomorrow (or whenever imported supplies run out) are not affected.
