Yesterday, the @FTC sued @Amazon
for its tactics to keep its monopoly power.

If you are a Brussels-based reporter for Politico or the FT, you will get Commission letters leaked to you. But what if you are a citizen trying to get them the official way, by filing an access to documents request? Case study: the letters about Poland's recovery plan. 🧵
