ICYMI: We dropped the latest edition of Top Hat and Thimble last week! 📰 Get @SumitEcon’s take on the AI bubble, hear all the Microsoft/OpenAI/Musk drama, learn the latest on Google and search remedies, and more! Read it here: newsletter.nextgencomp.tech/p/top-hat-and-…
Microsoft and Amazon’s cloud empires are built on lock-in. Now the EU is weighing whether Azure and AWS should face DMA obligations, including interoperability requirements and curbs on self-preferencing. Promising. But enforcement is what matters. 👀
Microsoft’s Azure and Amazon Web Services are on a collision course with the EU’s tough digital competition rulebook, after an initial probe into their power over the cloud bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Happy Prime Day! Friendly reminder that the FTC previously sued Amazon for acting as a monopoly that “inflates prices, degrades quality, and stifles innovation for consumers and businesses.” Maybe give a small business your money today instead. 🤷🏻♂️
.@SenBooker is correct: corporate consolidation, including Big Tech’s growing power, poses an immense threat to everyday Americans. Just look at data centers, which are robbing communities of fairly priced electricity, ample clean water, and local control.
@BedoyaUSA @SenBooker @WGAEast .@SenBooker connects to the greater issue of corporate monopolies in America: I want you all to understand that for us this is a moment of urgency. For some people in our country, this issue of mergers is an issue of life or death. Talk to people who can deny health coverage,
Interesting. So tech giants like Meta relaxed their speech policies in a blatant demonstration of Big Tech flattery, only to see more threats against politicians on both sides of the aisle, including the President. Brilliant plan. 🤯
New research finds that in the six months after Meta relaxed rules in the name of free speech, violent threats against lawmakers—including President Donald Trump—surged on Facebook. wired.com/story/threats-…

“We’ve invented cars, and trucks and trains, but we don’t have lines on the roads, stop signs, traffic lights, or railroad crossings.” Love this from Former AAG for Antitrust @JKBustertruster on regulating AI, and why we are “truly nowhere.” 😳 cnbc.com/video/2026/06/…
"Mr. Trump said he would soon host a meeting with the top “12 or 15 executives” in the A.I. industry to discuss the idea of companies’ “giving back something to the public.” He added, “If we do that, the public will become very rich.” nytimes.com/2026/06/10/tec…
More of this. 👏 The EU is continuing to hold Meta’s feet to the fire, because dominant platforms should not get to decide when competition rules apply to them.
Meta Gets EU Antitrust Order to Open WhatsApp to Rival AI Chatbots on.wsj.com/4etunLH
Apple doesn’t want to comply with Europe’s competition rules, so it’s blaming the law for its decision to withhold Siri AI from EU users. Big Tech loves innovation until regulators ask it to compete fairly. 🙃

We don't love saying we told you so... but we told you so. Unsurprisingly to anyone who’s been following this saga, Microsoft's takeover of Activision has been a complete disaster. 🤦🏻♂️ gamesindustry.biz/report-microso…

Maybe tech companies should design AI platforms with safety built in from the start, instead of treating harm as a PR problem after the fact. Typical Big Tech: maximize engagement, downplay the risks, and blame users when things go wrong. 🙄 theconversation.com/if-ai-is-addic…
Meta’s empire was built by buying threats before they could become real competitors. Now, 29 states are backing the FTC’s antitrust appeal, while Texas is challenging WhatsApp’s privacy promises. It’s about time. 💪🏼 techtimes.com/articles/31745…
Europe has taken the latest step in breaking its reliance on U.S. tech, releasing a plan that calls for tripling its data centers, boosting home-grown cloud computing, and restoring its semiconductor industry. 🇪🇺 @satariano has the full story: nytimes.com/2026/06/03/tec…
Cities are increasingly saying no to Big Tech’s data center boom, and Seattle is now the largest city to push back. 💪🏼 theguardian.com/technology/202…
History repeating itself? 👀 Microsoft used Windows to entrench its power once before. Now its dominance in cloud computing is raising familiar questions, and the FTC appears ready to act. ⚖️
Microsoft could be the next Big Tech antitrust target theverge.com/policy/940220/…
Need a refresher on where Big Tech CEOs stand with President Trump? 🤔 Spoiler: they're still too close, but @mirandanazzaro has you covered with the full story ⬇️

Always love to see @SenWarren calling out Big Tech, and her latest op-ed on AI is no exception. 👏 Big Tech wants us to believe the AI future is inevitable. It’s not. We can choose guardrails, competition, and accountability.
"Americans are hanging on by their fingernails in an economy that funnels wealth to the ultra-rich and leaves crumbs for working people. AI threatens to supercharge this divide," writes Sen. Elizabeth Warren time.com/article/2026/0…
