On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head talks with author and The Heritage Foundation's Senior Fellow for Technology Daniel Cochrane to unpack the high-stakes antitrust fight against Facebook (now Meta) and what it reveals about Big Tech’s grip on American life. Cochrane breaks down the 2019–2020 antitrust case targeting Meta’s acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp, explaining why Judge Boasberg ultimately ruled the company wasn’t a monopoly due to rising competition from TikTok and YouTube. Cochrane goes deeper, arguing that Meta’s real advantage isn’t just market share, it’s “stickiness," or the way the platform locks users into its ecosystem, harvesting data, shaping behavior, and exerting enormous political influence. He also details reports of collusion with the FBI, Meta’s ambitions to break into the Chinese market, and why current antitrust laws are too outdated to rein in today’s tech giants. With AI accelerating societal change, especially among young people, Cochrane calls for modernized tech laws and urges listeners to take back control of their privacy by minimizing digital footprints and limiting social media exposure.

On this episode of the podcast, NetChoice’s Director of Policy Patrick Hedger details why they launched a new lawsuit against the State of Virginia for passing a new law that would require minors younger than 16 years of age to undergo age-verification, receive parental consent, and be limited to just one hour per day of use on social media platforms.  Hedger argues that this regulation represents a direct assault on free speech and privacy, comparing it to forcing you to read a book only one hour at a time or verifying your identity just to watch a documentary. Hedger contrasts Virginia’s approach with similar efforts, such as Texas’ SB814 which targeted minors’ access to pornographic content, and highlights a worrying trend of regulatory models being adopted from abroad, including the UK’s Online Safety Act and the proposed Kids Online Safety Act in Congress.  You can learn more about NetChoice by visiting their website: NetChoice.org.
