California, 11 other states sue to block Paramount’s Warner Bros. deal - POLITICO

“The unlawful merger of these two entertainment behemoths would lead to higher prices, lower quality, and less content for film and television, harming movie theaters, basic cable distributors, and ultimately, audiences on every sofa and movie theater seat in the U.S.,” Bonta said in a statement, adding that media consolidation in California, the epicenter of the entertainment industry, “not only leads to higher prices — it also leads to fewer opportunities for important stories to come to life, and fewer ways for audiences to encounter stories, ideas, and perspectives beyond their own experiences.”…

‘Big Four’ meatpackers under fire as beef prices soar

"This is a time of near record high beef prices and demand for beef," Osborn wrote on X. "In a real free market, one would expect packers to want to increase capacity to meet this demand. At a minimum, they wouldn't idle capacity for fear of ceding market share to competitors – who might take advantage of the high prices to expand their own production. But Tyson is doing the opposite. Why?" He answered his own question: "Tyson made a calculation that the profits they will reap manipulating market prices by shutting down this giant plant will EXCEED any loss they incur."…

‘This merger must be blocked’: Netflix-Warner Bros deal faces fierce backlash

"The world's largest streaming company swallowing one of its biggest competitors is what antitrust laws were designed to prevent," the statement read. "The outcome would eliminate jobs, push down wages, worsen conditions for all entertainment workers, raise prices for consumers, and reduce the volume and diversity of content for all viewers. Industry workers along with the public are already impacted by only a few powerful companies maintaining tight control over what consumers can watch on television, on streaming, and in theaters. This merger must be blocked."…

Apple slams DOJ lawsuit: ’threatens the very principles that set iPhone apart’ - 9to5Mac

This lawsuit seeks to attack a random collection of Apple's design choices, degrade the privacy and security benefits of iPhone that customers value, and eliminate the competitive differentiation and consumer choice that currently exist in the marketplace. The Department of Justice and the States (collectively, "DOJ") argue that five of Apple's design choices are examples of a purported "monopoly playbook" to eliminate competitive threats and inhibit switching. DOJ is wrong. 

Apple has made careful and deliberate decisions in each of those five areas, all of which are focused on optimizing customer experience and not destroying competitors or making it more difficult for customers to buy another smartphone if they so choose. DOJ posits Apple should have made other choices, but that is not an antitrust violation and, in fact, would restrict Apple's ability to compete and give users the differentiated products they value...
