TL;DR
The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has been accused of institutional schizophrenia after issuing a statement on digital markets that contradicted its own ruling to block Microsoft's purchase of Activision Blizzard. The CMA's lack of understanding of the tech industry, especially on the part of the Inquiry Group, has been blamed for the contradictory statement. The CMA's actions have been deemed counterproductive and damaging to UK consumers and companies.
