“Through the realpolitik lens, the Biden administration has, like all administrations, a bigger tent that it would probably like, especially with the Elizabeth Warren wing of the party,” said Geoffrey Manne, president of the International Center for Law and Economics, which advocates limited antitrust regulation of digital platforms. “So you throw them a few bones.”
