House lawmakers release bipartisan antitrust bills aimed at tech giants like Amazon and Google

Members of the House of Representatives introduced five bipartisan anti-Big Tech bills Friday intended to rein in monopolistic behavior by tech giants like Amazon and Google, including measures to split up parts of their businesses and make user data more portable.

The antitrust package, “A Stronger Online Economy: Opportunity, Innovation, Choice,” consists of five bipartisan bills drafted by lawmakers on the House Antitrust Subcommittee that would: make tech user data portable, restrict acquisitions by Big Tech platforms, block platforms from selling on the marketplaces they control, stop companies from giving preference to their own products and services, and provide more resources for the two antitrust agencies in the federal government.
