Taming Big Tech with Texas Deputy Attorney General James Lloyd & Expert Antitrust Economist Cristina Caffarra
Friday, August 30, 2024 (4:30 PM - 6:30 PM) (CDT)
Description
Join us for an insightful discussion with two leading figures
at the forefront of the global effort to regulate Big Tech's dominance.
James Lloyd is the Deputy Attorney General for Civil Litigation, overseeing the Office’s eleven civil litigating divisions. He has also served as Chief of the Antitrust Division, where he played a pivotal role in prosecuting landmark monopolization cases in digital markets. The Texas Attorney General's Office has taken significant legal actions against major tech companies like Google and Meta, targeting their monopolistic practices. These efforts are focused on safeguarding Texans' online content and restoring a fair playing field on the web, ensuring that everyone has a chance to succeed.
Internationally renowned expert antitrust economist Cristina Caffarra, who has been at the forefront of major European competition investigations, will lead the discussion. Dubbed the “High Priestess of Competition” by Politico, Cristina Caffarra has provided critical insights on regulating digital markets. Recently, she appeared on Bloomberg Tech TV to discuss Google's monopolistic practices and contributed her expertise at UNCTAD's Intergovernmental Group of Experts on Competition Law and Policy in Geneva, where she addressed “Enforcing Competition Law in Digital Markets and Ecosystems.”
They will discuss what’s at stake with the global multi-pronged effort against Big Tech, and why fair digital markets matter for economic progress, innovation and democracy.
Join us to understand the far-reaching implications of these landmark cases and regulations, from Texas to Europe, and what they mean for businesses, consumers, and governments worldwide.
This program is essential for business leaders, policymakers, and anyone interested in the evolving landscape of digital markets.
