Hasnain says:

I really liked Khan’s referenced piece here and now that the senate just confirmed her appointment (72-25, even Hawley and 21 other republicans were for jt, even if for “wrong” reasons) this will be fun to watch how it plays out.

“Khan, 32, currently associate professor of law at Columbia University, rose to prominence in 2017 after her Yale Law Journal article "Amazon's Antitrust Paradox" argued that Amazon's retail business should be separated from its selling platform.

Khan is a hero for critics of tech who want to see broader principles replace the "consumer welfare" standard of antitrust, under which harm from a company's monopolistic behavior is judged largely by whether consumer prices rise.”
