Lina Khan
Lina Khan is an associate professor at Columbia Law School and served as Chair of the Federal Trade Commission from June 2021 to January 2025. She is best known for her scholarship on antitrust law and the market power of dominant digital platforms, particularly her 2017 essay "Amazon's Antitrust Paradox," which challenged conventional approaches to antitrust enforcement. During her FTC tenure, she pursued aggressive enforcement against anti-competitive practices across technology, pharmaceutical, and other industries.
“If California and other states settle with significant concessions — even over the objections of progressives like Lina Khan — then it may validate their more active posture.”
