Elizabeth Ann Warren, American politician and former law professor, who is the senior United States senator from Massachusetts, said “For too long, giant tech companies have thrown around their weight to crush the competition, exploit our data and spread disinformation. They may think they’re too big to be held accountable, but Lina Khan is proving them wrong”.
Elizabeth further said since Lina published her blockbuster Yale Law Journal article Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox in 2017—written while she was still a law student. “I should add—she has been the leading intellectual force in the modern antitrust movement. Her writings and advocacy have pushed scholars, lawyers, activists and public officials to think differently about Big Tech” the senator said.
She’s also been a critical figure in government, providing advice to countless elected officials, working at the Federal Trade Commission and staffing the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Antitrust, Elizabeth Ann Warren said.
Lina’s deep knowledge and commitment to discovering the facts on the ground have not only drawn attention to the problem of concentration but shown how to address it, she said.
“Like Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon face growing scrutiny, we have a huge opportunity to make big, structural change by reviving antitrust enforcement and fighting monopolies that threaten our economy, our society and our democracy. I can’t wait to see how Lina will continue to shape that debate.” She added.
