> Lina Khan's policies were very harmful for the tech sector

As they should! It's quite literally the whole reason they exist.

Email unsubscribe links have worked well, and click-to-cancel hopefully can too! The only opponents of these policies are massive companies who rely on predatorial dark patterns. Everyone with a brain should support these "wasteful policies" because they benefit consumers.

I absolutely LOVE having one link to instantly stop being emailed from mailing lists, and I can't be happier for click-to-cancel and related legislation.

"oh no, big tech company XYZ will make 0.0001% less money this year!!!" is the energy you're giving

Please make your substantive points thoughtfully, and omit name-calling, as the site guidelines ask:

The FTC would be well within their duties to obliterate every single tech company in existence
Would your arguments be any different if you switched them arbitrarily?

Why can't monopolies instead be "very harmful for the tech sector", and Lina Khan's policies be "not a big deal"?
