President Donald Trump has made a significant decision by appointing technology lawyer Gail Slater to lead the Antitrust Division of the Justice Department. Slater's nomination has sent shockwaves through Silicon Valley, signaling a potential reckoning for Big Tech giants such as Google, Apple, Amazon, and Meta.
Slater's extensive experience in competition and antitrust law, along with her background working within major technology and telecom firms, positions her as a knowledgeable and principled conservative antitrust hawk in Washington. Her understanding of the core purpose of antitrust statutes, to uphold a fair and robust free market, sets her apart from others in the field.
