House antitrust panel expected to introduce five anti-Big Tech bills

Published June 9, 2021 10:06pm ET



The Democratic chairman of the House antitrust panel is expected to introduce five bipartisan bills to rein in Big Tech platforms such as Amazon, Facebook, and Google through new anti-monopoly legislation.

The five draft bills obtained by the Washington Examiner are meant to 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 Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice, the two key antitrust agencies in the federal government.
