The White House on Friday announced that prominent Big Tech critic Tim Wu is joining its National Economic Council, with the move following reports last week that said the Biden administration would hire him.
Wu, a Columbia University law professor known for coining the term “net neutrality,” has been described as an antitrust crusader and a hero to progressives who want Biden to take a more aggressive approach to Big Tech. He will be a special assistant to the president for technology and competition policy, according to the White House.
