Lina Khan's success record is/was horrendous. In the most recent case, Google may have "lost" but the government got nowhere near what it was asking for either

  Honestly, on this particular case that's on the judge and your current culture, not Khan. Before the 80s, Google would have been forced to separate its two ads divisions, to make some space for new companies and actors. If Lina Khan only victory is that people are now aware that having a government this friendly with monopolies isn't normal, that's probably better than most politicians since Clinton.

The case in which the government didn’t get what it wanted was the online search case; the trial in the remedy phase of the ad tech case starts later this month, so talking about the difference between what Google would have gotten in the 1980s for that and what they are actually getting now is premature speculation.

      Oh sorry then, i guess my lack of following and my pessimism has taken over proper verification. Hopefully the US government break Google adtech in two different companies.

  Do you think it's fair to put the recent case on Lisa Khan when a) the Google antitrust lawsuit was started in Trump v1.0 and b) the trial remedy was during Trump 2.0? If anything, that Google was found to have antitrust behavior bolsters her success rate. She's not in charge there anymore, so blaming her is very very suspect.
