LINA KHAN POINTS TO FIGMA IPO AS VINDICATION OF M&A SCRUTINY

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Lina Khan, former FTC chair, celebrated Figma's successful IPO as a vindication of her stance against Big Tech acquisitions, arguing that blocking Adobe's attempted $20B takeover allowed Figma to grow independently and deliver greater value. While Khan framed the IPO as a win for innovation and competition, critics argue Figma's success stems from its own merits, not regulatory intervention.
