A Senate antitrust bill first introduced last year has received an official stamp of approval from the Department of Justice, adding momentum toward the bill’s passing. The acting assistant attorney general wrote a letter to members of the Senate Judiciary Committee voicing the DOJ’s support, The Wall Street Journal reports.
The bill in question, known as the American Innovation and Choice Online Act, seeks to modify what, exactly, companies can be sued for under antitrust law. This should ostensibly make it easier for Big Tech companies like Apple, Google, Meta, and Amazon to be held accountable for anti-competitive practices.
