IKK 2026: recordings available!

 Here

Not to be missed: Prof. Fox & Guests https://lnkd.in/d4V4JDmT - her writings inspired me as a young Student to get into competition policy.

Disagree that "digital is shiny" and enforcers should deal with that "what actually matters to people." It's shiny only if you avoid dealing with the gritty basics, which few understand, which depends on specialised knowledge, and which remains largely unexplained. The "communication problem" is much larger than the ten seconds needed to explain to the public what a specific decision is about.

Fully agree with FSM on the fact that Google Search was a defeat because of regulators - in the audience: don't look at me, I wasn't there yet etc.

Best intervention so far: Signal!

Google's representative: "I also have children" - time flies. Then we learn that GetTourGuide has "ebenfalls" two kids. And those families in the US also have plenty of children and some good rulings supporting them. BTW, is FSM about to say the number of children she has? Women: we don't do it enough, apparently. FSM putting a rich debate into two narrowly framed economic "theories of harm" sounds a bit reductionist at this point. Unsurprisingly, Google is a big fan of Judge Mehta.

Give us the time, Google implores regulators! *Hear* hundreds of eyes in the room roll over.
