There is a rising concern among politicians on both the left and right to rein in "Big Tech." While specific complaints vary, there is a general agreement among lawmakers that the very largest tech companies, like Apple, Alphabet (which owns Google), Meta (which owns Facebook), and Amazon, simply exercise too much power.
One bill, the American Innovation and Choice Online Act (AICOA), purports to make "certain discriminatory conduct" illegal when practiced by tech platforms. The bill has been around since last year, sponsored by Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D–Minn.) and a bipartisan group of senators, but according to Reuters, lawmakers expect that it will soon pass.
