The enforcer that could break up Apple and Google is facing upheaval
The Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice, led by Gail Slater, has faced upheaval with the sudden firing of two high-ranking officials, Roger Alford and Bill Rinner. The termination letters did not specify the reason for their dismissal, which was only described as "insubordination" by an anonymous DOJ official. This shakeup at the agency responsible for arguing some of the biggest tech monopoly cases, including potential actions against Apple and Google, has raised concerns about the division's stability and direction. The Verge article suggests that these developments signal a shift in the agency's priorities and approach to antitrust enforcement in the tech industry.
