In his first extensive interview since he stepped down as the
Special Assistant to the President for Technology and Competition
Policy on the National Economic Council, Tim Wu shares what he
learned in the West Wing. We find out who holds most sway with the
President, how Lina Khan undid any perception that there is any
antitrust exception for “nice guys,” and get Wu’s predictions on
lawsuits against Google, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft. Also: Kara
presses him on why Biden — who campaigned on getting rid of Section
230 and hinted at breaking up Big Tech — hasn’t been able to make
much headway when it comes to regulating Silicon Valley. Before the
interview, Kara and Nayeema look at exits, from Jacinda Ardern, the
former prime minister of New Zealand, to Netflix co-founder Reed
Hastings. And among all the exits, they also discuss one possible
return: Meta’s looming decision regarding Donald Trump’s Facebook
account. You can find Kara and Nayeema on Twitter at @karaswisher
