Donald Trump will mark his return to the Oval Office as the 47th US President, and already, speculations have arisen regarding what his policies will be during his term. Special focus is given to Trump’s future stance towards antitrust policies towards Big Tech companies like Alphabet’s Google, and whether they will depart from the policies pursued by President Joe Biden.
To provide some context, Big Tech companies had a tough time during the Biden administration. The US Department of Justice (DOJ) stepped up to take the lead in lawsuits aimed at curbing the monopoly power of tech giants like Google, Apple, Meta, and Amazon, to name some. Special mention must be made of Google – the company’s dominance in both the online search and advertising markets has attracted scrutiny from the government.
