The real what the fuck moment, for me, was when Khan did "not even provide an estimated actual figure or range for Facebook's market share at any point over the past ten years" [1].
That's the judge! In his opinion! How do you claim monopoly without bothering to calculate market share!

For many “in the know” in this area, Khan has repeatedly made a fool out of herself, despite those who wish to push a glowing narrative. As many have already pointed out, she’s simply not that effective, and at some point you have to admit that even if you agree with what she’s trying to do (as many of us here do). One of the reasons here, which you mentioned, is the remarkably low staff morale at the FTC which she has caused[1].
Prejudice like this has been happening across the board under Biden, and the vast majority of the picks are, to say the least, underwhelming (Khan isn't really that bad relatively speaking.) Bottom line is: if you or anyone reading think this is crap, you need to get yourself (and others) politically active.
