U.S. Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan has taken on some of the world’s biggest technology companies, and she is losing the battle.
Khan failed in her latest effort to block a big-tech deal when a federal judge denied her attempt to block Microsoft from closing its purchase of videogame publisher Activision Blizzard
Khan, who took office in 2021 vowing to stiffen antitrust enforcement, has lost other battles in her fight to rein in Big Tech, especially Twitter.
Conservatives say that the FTC is harassing Twitter over data-security practices and because Khan is unhappy with Elon Musk’s acquisition of the company.
