One post, authored by Khan’s staff, was published on January 3, 2025, with the title “AI and the Risk of Consumer Harm.” It noted that the FTC was “taking note of AI’s potential for real-world instances of harm — from incentivizing commercial surveillance to enabling fraud and impersonation to perpetuating illegal discrimination.”
As we can see, Biden (and we can assume also his would-be successor Harris) was just another Democrat beholden to corporate interests. He used Lina Khan to further the appearance of caring about consumers and working on their behalf.
Edit: It looks like I may have been mistaken and both sides are really not the same.
You obviously did not follow the woman’s work. She was hitting monopolies hard when no one else had the guts to. She was our lest best hope to break the oligarchy.

She was claiming things (monopoly, anti-consumer, etc) where they didn’t exist though, and was doing more harm than good by doing so (seems like a democrat/lefty trait at this stage). By going after companies with nonsense claims that don’t have any facts or legal arguments behind them, all she did was make the FTC a laughing stock, drive their best minds away, and help the big companies get away with any actual bad things they do in the future.
Your not wrong that corporations win regardless of the party but how does a Trump appointee removing posts turn into an example of democrats being guilty of this?
Like, there is a inexhaustible lists of examples of how the class war is ingrained in politics, you don’t need to invent any and regardless of your intentions i doubt this is accomplishing them.
You talk about it like she just sat there, once she was appointed.
I think that discounts the agency that Lina Khan had and still has post appointment.
She speaks quite passionately about pro consumer economic policies and actually started cracking down on some of monopolies that hurt consumers. Hell of a lot more than I’ve seen from many US politicians recently.
Either way I don’t think I’m changing your mind so I’ll stop here.

Her main problem was that she went after companies over things that weren’t illegal purely for ideological reasons, knowing the FTC didn’t have a hope in hell of winning. It’s a terrible strategy and it massively hurt them, along with consumers ironically, as it made the FTC look incompetent, weaponized, and gave the big tech companies wins on the board that could be used for future cases.
