"Jon Stewart Reveals Apple's Interference with FTC Chair Interview and AI Discussion"

Jon Stewart accused Apple of preventing him from interviewing FTC chair Lina Khan for his show, citing a sensitivity to discussing certain topics. Khan, who has pursued anti-trust litigation against major tech companies, highlighted the dangers of concentrated power in a small number of companies. The tension between Stewart and Apple over show topics led to the cancellation of the show's third season. While the FTC has not sued Apple, it has targeted other big tech companies, and the US justice department recently filed an anti-trust lawsuit against Apple. During the interview, Stewart praised the FTC's work and asked about pushback from big tech companies, to which Khan noted that monopolies resist enforcement of anti-monopoly laws.
