WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 15th June, 2021) The US Senate confirmed on Tuesday the appointment of Lina Khan as Federal Trade Commissioner, putting a major critic of Big Tech in charge of the country's domestic trade amid the Biden administration's crackdown against alleged antitrust practices by firms such as Google and Facebook.
The Senate voted 69-28 to confirm the 32-year-old Khan, making the Columbia University professor the youngest person ever to head the Federal Trade Commission. Her confirmation also signals a bipartisan desire to impose more regulations on Big Tech companies increasingly accused of shutting out smaller competitors to monopolize online search and digital advertising among other activities.
