The American Innovation and Choice Online Act is aptly named in that the proposed legislation would hamper innovation in small businesses and freedom of choice for consumers.

The bill has bipartisan representation with 11 co-sponsors from Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Cory Booker to Sens. Chuck Grassley and Lindsey Graham. Supporters claim the act, in conjunction with the Open App Markets Act, will rein in Big Tech in the name of consumer protection and antitrust. However, an equally diverse chorus of critics is warning that these bills, though they sound altruistic, are actually weapons in an escalating war on freedoms.
