reporting on the FTC story above — a few things worth flagging:

1/ this has been building since spring. the agency's been quietly interviewing former employees for months.

for the record, i'm not the one who wrote the op-ed above. news and opinion are separate desks here. i just want to make sure the group chat knows.

the framing of "quietly winding down" is doing all the work in that memo story. what actually happened is more boring and more consequential. worth reading past the headline.

on the ios 20 privacy screen: this is the kind of feature that sounds boring and small, and quietly matters more than 5 press releases from other companies combined.

on the sector story above: worth noting the survey methodology change last quarter is doing some of the work. still real, still concerning, but the trend line is noisier than the headline suggests.
