    The praise comes after he gets asked about the UK regulators on a UK show. Like I said, the CMA initially also tried to block it, just like the FTC, so it wouldn’t make sense to me to single one of them out.

      You single one out because they started to push back and then relented, and you want the other one to also relent while they are currently pushing back. And by calling the first one fair, you make it so the second one can also look fair in the court of public opinion if they back down.

      The platform doesnt mean a whole lot, since these conversations are pre screened pretty often. Its hard to know if they had been given prep time or not, and that means we cant know to what degree this PR statement is pre planned.
