Big Tech's Antitrust Endgame with Professor John Newman

For years, the U.S. government has tried to police antitrust and monopoly issues in the technology industry with varying degrees of success.

Several recent rulings have pushed the topic back into the spotlight, with a landmark ruling in a case against Google garnering headlines across the country, though many experts say Google is still winning in the long-term game of monopoly. Additionally, Epic Games (maker of the popular Fortnite game) took on Apple in a long-running antitrust case, with the decision and remedies potentially changing how online commerce and transactions are carried out across the board.

Antitrust expert University of Memphis School of Law Herbert Herff Chair of Excellence, Professor John Newman, joins the podcast to go in-depth about these cases and more. He goes into the cultural relevance of these antitrust cases, what they mean to us as consumers, and how they could potentially change the way Big Tech operates in our daily lives.
