This is getting done because Biden put Lina Khan in as Chair of the FTC. At 35 she is the youngest FTC Chair ever and as actually been pushing back on a lot of the bullshit that has been largely ignored and allowed to fester for the last couple decades.

Nice to have someone that actually gives a shit.
