US President Joe Biden nominated lawyer and Google critic Jonathan Kanter as the Justice Department s antitrust chief on Tuesday, July 20, in the latest sign the White House is determined to rein in the world s biggest corporations, especially Big Tech.
Progressives who advocate tougher enforcement of antitrust law pushed for the nomination of Kanter, who recently started his own law firm, Kanter Law Group LLP, which bills itself as an antitrust advocacy boutique.
The White House called Kanter a leading advocate and expert in the effort to promote strong and meaningful antitrust enforcement and competition policy.
