The appointment of Fiona Scott Morton, a former competition economist for the US Justice Department who has also lobbied on behalf of Apple, Amazon and Microsoft, has set off alarm bells in Brussels and Paris. Morton’s mandate would involve advising the EU Commission on investigations into alleged anti-competitive behaviour, proposed mergers, and the implementation of the landmark Digital Markets Act (DMA), the EU’s rulebook to rein in the market power of Big Tech firms.

    It leaves me speechless.

    Agreed ( in retrospect not sure which lady you’re refering to, maybe both?)

    Fiona Scott Norton has hardly started her job, and there is already so much controversy about her.

    I don’t know anything about this person, but I can’t even start to magine what will submerge and happen, when something really sensitive and tough comes up ( like almost every thing that’s happening lately, GDPR, AI,etc).

    European Commission should take their losses, and revoke her application ASAP.
