The current head of the FTC is bringing the first anti-trust case in many years. She's launched cases against Google, and Amazon so far, and is investigating Facebook. That gives me some hope.

The Hollywood Reporter seems to think that hope is misplaced:

Such a deal would likely attract less regulatory scrutiny than other potential mergers, with WBD lacking any domestic broadcast network, and with mostly synergistic businesses. The biggest source of friction would likely be combining the two legacy film and TV studios.

Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.
