YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn this episode, we go courtside at two landmark tech antitrust trials unfolding in the DC District Court: the Department of Justice’s remedy hearing against Google, and the Federal Trade Commission’s monopolization case targeting Meta (Facebook). David and Matt speak with two lawyers and antitrust experts Laurel Kilgore and Brendan Benedict who are covering the trials.
The Google case is all about what punishment fits the crime after they were found guilty of monopolizing search - should they have to sell off Chrome? Meanwhile, the Meta trial is digging into whether the company crushed competition by gobbling up Instagram and WhatsApp.
The fact that these high-stakes antitrust cases are happening in the midst of all the political chaos may represent the system actually working and the rule of law reining in corporate power.
Laurel Kilgour’s career spans the breadth of legal practice, from boutique to global big law firms. Now manager of the American Economic Liberties Project’s team of policy analysts, working to protect the American people from economic injustice. Brendan Benedict, Principal at Benedict Law Group with offices in DC and New York, specializes in antitrust and commercial litigation, and is covering the Facebook trial for Big Tech on Trial. Both guests have been sitting in the courtrooms hosting two antitrust litigation actions regarding Google and Facebook. Their insight and analysis is unmatched, and we’re fortunate to have them both this week.
Check out Brendan's coverage of the Meta trial at Big Tech On Trial.
