Trump nominates Adam Candeub, FCC General Counsel and longtime Big Tech critic, to head the DOJ Antitrust Division. Candeub authored the FTC chapter of Project 2025 and has long opposed Section 230; confirmation would signal aggressive federal antitrust enforcement against tech companies.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

If you're building on top of Big Tech platforms or competing with them, the person now running antitrust enforcement wants Section 230 gone and has a track record of pursuing tech giants. Your M&A plans, funding rounds, and distribution strategy just moved into a much tighter regulatory lane.
