President-elect Donald Trump‘s selection of antitrust lawyer Mark Meador for a spot on the Federal Trade Commission is a sign that Trump 2.0 is leaning further into populism and a willingness to challenge the corporate world, especially Big Tech.
Meador, a Republican, has worked in both the private sector and for the federal government on antitrust policy. Not cut from the traditional Wall Street-friendly Republican mold, Meador has branded Google a “monopolist,” supports the Kids Online Safety Act that would impose new rules on tech giants, and has eschewed the GOP’s association with big business.
