The Trump administration isn\u2019t letting up on the tech giants.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the Federal Trade Commission will face off with Meta in court over claims that the social media giant snuffed out nascent competitors<\/a> when it bought Instagram and WhatsApp. And on April 21, the Justice Department will argue that a federal judge should force Google to sell its Chrome web browser<\/a> to limit the power of its search monopoly.<\/p>\n

Both cases, which helped set into motion a new era of antitrust scrutiny<\/a>, were filed during President Trump\u2019s first term in office. They were advanced by the Biden administration, which also filed monopoly lawsuits against Amazon, Apple and Google\u2019s ad technology business.<\/p>\n

Investors in Silicon Valley and on Wall Street hoped that Mr. Trump might show technology companies<\/a> more deference during his second term, as he promised to deregulate industries. Some legal experts think the administration could still take a lighter hand on blocking mergers and setting proactive regulations for tech.<\/p>\n

But so far, Mr. Trump\u2019s appointees have promised to continue much of the scrutiny of the biggest tech companies, despite the industry\u2019s hopes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
