The anti-trust pressure has increased with this administration. Lina Kahn has been effective at the FTC in bringing a number of cases forward.

https://www.thebignewsletter.com/ is a very well executed newsletter with more detailed information regarding anti-trust if you're interested.

The content is good, so I support the content.

If all we ever do is hold purity contests over secondary and tertiary concerns, like the platform, we'll never accomplish anything.

I didn't say anything about the content. Just... Like... Substack 🙄
