The Demise of Chevron Deference and the Tech Industry

Pixy Misa at Ambient Irony has some straight forward analysis of what this means for the tech industry. Daily News Stuff 29 June 2024: Unreal Estate Edition

Before getting to the general tech news, Pixy Misa covers two stories about Chevron and the FCC's regulatory overreach.

As with the previous article, the writers of this piece freely admit that the regulatory agencies are engaged in an unbridled and unconstitutional power grab; they just believe this is a good thing.

The article notes that the FTC's recent ruling against noncompete clauses is likely in trouble because - once again - the FTC never had the authority to make such a ruling in the first place.

People are wringing their hands over the fact that the FCC can't make shit up as they go, because the laws on the books haven't been updated in decades. Pixy Misa has some advice:

Write better laws.

One item of note in the general tech news:

Mustafa Suleyman, a less-successful clone of OpenAI's Sam Altman, has confirmed that Microsoft is taking all your data to train its AI and they don't give a shit what you think about it. (The Register) [SNIP]

Looks like it's take off and nuke the entire site from orbit o'clock.
