Troutman Pepper Partner Barbara T. Sicalides is quoted in the Android Central article, “Here’s What Google Needs to Watch Out for With Lina Khan, the New ‘Captain’ of the FTC.”
Barbara Sicalides, an antitrust lawyer at Troutman Pepper law firm, rejected the criticism that Khan could be biased and said in an interview that while Khan has expressed reservation regarding Big Tech, those concerns “would likely apply to all companies that fall into the “Big Tech” category.”
“As chair of the FTC, she will be deciding specific questions involving the fate of companies, their employees, their communities, and innovators,” she said. “While it is entirely understandable that businesses are troubled by the uncertainty, I think it’s a mistake to assume that unfair treatment is a given.”
Sicalides added that Khan’s concern is specific to “market concentration in terms of digital advertising and the ability of technology companies to leverage their power in one market or side of a platform in an adjacent space where they might face more competition.”
