A coalition of 13 privacy-focused tech companies, including the likes of Mozilla, DuckDuckGo, and Brave, this week sent a letter voicing their support for the American Innovation and Choice Online Act (AICOA). The letter (which you can read in full here) focuses on Big Tech’s invasive data-collection business.
“Incessant data collection and tech monopolies are inherently linked: the more data they collect and use to influence user decision making, the stronger their grip on the industry becomes, leaving users feeling like they have no option but to accept a lack of privacy to use the Internet,” the coalition writes in the introduction of its letter.
