Law360 Quotes Prof. Cotter on State Antitrust Probes of Facebook

A Law360 article titled “State AGs Launch Antitrust Probe Into Facebook” quotes Professor Thomas Cotter on the recent formation of a coalition of state attorneys general to investigate Facebook for possible antitrust violations. Cotter states that “state AGs have their own ... authority,” independent of the federal antitrust enforcers, “and have shown an increasing willingness in recent years to pursue antitrust enforcement that may be more ‘populist’ than their federal peers.”
