Google’s monopoly in online search was recently adjudicated by a federal court. There is also an ongoing FTC case against Meta for anti-competitive behaviors involving Instagram and WhatsApp acquisitions. What are the legal and commercial dynamics of these key antitrust cases, and what is the broader impact on the market?
Lina Khan is an associate professor of law at Columbia University and a former FTC Chair. She joined Errol Louis to explain the legal principles behind maintaining market competition, historical antitrust cases and potential remedies, including the divestiture of Chrome and business model adjustments. They also discussed the broader implications of monopoly power, Amazon’s dominance, privacy concerns and the bipartisan support for antitrust enforcement.
