Today, we unveiled the second in a series of policy papers containing detailed evidence and roadmaps for potential antitrust cases against several tech giants. The “Roadmap for an Antitrust Case Against Facebook”, is the result of a collaboration between several antitrust experts who have been working in tandem to study competition issues in the digital marketplace and research the specific harms caused by big tech, including Fiona M. Scott Morton, Theodore Nierenberg Professor of Economics at the Yale University School of Management and David C. Dinielli, a senior advisor at Omidyar Network. Using public information gathered by the U.K.‘s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), U.K’s House of Commons Report on Disinformation and Fake News, and other sources, the policy paper describes a clear theory of how Facebook may have violated the antitrust laws in the US.
