The Intersection of Antitrust & Privacy: A Deep Dive into the U.S. v. Apple Antitrust Case
Hosted by the GAI and the Law & Economics Center and presented by the Program on Economics & Privacy, this live webinar will examine the recent Department of Justice (DOJ) complaint against Apple, which alleges that Apple has designed and structured its iPhone platform in a manner that violates Section 2 of the Sherman Act. Join us as Prof. James Cooper (Director, Program on Economics & Privacy), Prof. Erika Douglas (Temple University Beasley School of Law), D. Bruce Hoffman (partner, Cleary Gottlieb), and moderator Prof. John Yun (Antonin Scalia Law School) discuss the scope of a platform’s duty to deal, the relevance of privacy considerations in antitrust matters, and the applicability of the seminal Microsoft case in determining the likely outcome.
