Big Tech Antitrust Measures Advance In House

June 24, 2021 at 7:21 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Wall Street Journal: “A House committee approved far-reaching legislation to curb the market dominance of tech giants, including Alphabet Inc.’s Google and Facebook Inc. … In a package of six bills, the most significant measure to pass by late Wednesday requires that the largest internet platforms make it easier for users to transport their data to other platforms and even communicate with users on other platforms.”

“The bills must still pass the full House, where the timetable for bringing them to the floor for final votes remains unclear.”
