I got asked on the other site (which I'm boycotting) for literature recommendations discussing the interaction between antitrust & (cyber)security.
I think there's so much scholarship still to be written here! Not least because there seems to be a perception of a trade-off between the two. 🧵

NEW Working Paper
Author: Sonia Kuhls
