SHARE Veteran antitrust lawyer Jonathan Kanter was nominated today by President Biden to lead the antitrust division of the Department of Justice. That will come as another blow to big tech, following Lina Khan being made chair of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission in June. Khan has a history of criticizing what she sees as out-of-control tech monopolies, which mirrors the work Kanter has been doing for decades. Prior to that, in May, Biden appointed Columbia University law professor Tim Wu to the National Economic Council. Wu has also been an outspoken adversary of tech behemoths. If enough guns weren’t already positioned in front of big tech, in June Biden signed off on an executive order designed to increase competition in the U.S. and limit the powers of business monopolies.
