Amazon.com Inc. wants Lina Khan rescued

By Aviyukta Adlakha

Amazon.com Inc. wants Lina Khan, Federal Trade Commission Chair, recused from matters involving the company because of her history as an online retailer being a threat. This move comes after the FTC reviews Amazon’s proposed $8.45 billion acquisition of movie studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The deal is worrisome for those concerned about the growth of tech companies, but antitrust experts have said it will be difficult for regulators to stop.

Amazon filed a request with the agency on Wednesday, arguing that Khan should be barred from handling antitrust enforcement decisions affecting the company.
