On 17.10.2018, the University of Haifa welcomed Makan Delrahim, the Assistant Attorney General of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division, for a discussion on how antitrust authorities can address competition challenges posed by tech giants.

Delrahim highlighted that data, despite its scale, may not always be a barrier to entry, as it is widely available and most has a short shelf-life. He questioned whether dominant firms should be required to share data with smaller competitors, emphasizing that the digital market poses unique challenges and requires nuanced approaches to antitrust enforcement.
