Both Democrats and Republicans have targeted Big Tech with antitrust action, said Stanford University law professor Mark A. Lemley, an expert in antitrust and intellectual property law.

“Big companies probably have more to fear from the Democrats” on antitrust, he said, despite the Trump administration’s recent antitrust suit against Google, which he said was “much narrower and more targeted than most people expected.”

On social media liability, Lemley said that while both Trump and Biden have called for removing social media companies’ “Section 230” immunity from liability for the content posted on their sites, they have opposite reasons — Democrats want social media to police posts deemed false or offensive, while Republicans want a hands-off approach. Don’t expect change, he said, from a divided government.
