September 22, 2021
Justice Department officials have filed a federal antitrust action against American Airlines and JetBlue, asserting that the “growing alliance between the two carriers had created a ‘de facto merger’ in the New York and Boston markets, reducing competition and hurting consumers.” The DOJ announced that attorneys general in six states and D.C. are signing on to the lawsuit - NYTimes and WSJ and Law360

Elsewhere at the ‘Book, Zuck & Co.’s Oversight Board is reportedly launching a review of the company’s “practice of holding high-profile users to separate sets of rules, citing apparent inconsistencies in the way the social-media giant makes decisions.” The announcement comes after the Journal’s blockbuster reporting on Facebook last week, including the company’s special XCheck program - WSJ and Bloomberg
