WASHINGTON : A U.S. congressional leader on antitrust, Senator Amy Klobuchar, on Tuesday called for Congress to pass a bill to rein in Big Tech, as prospects of it becoming law seemed to be dimming.
"We must pass legislation to put rules of the road in place for dominant tech companies," Klobuchar said in a statement Tuesday."These platforms use their dominance to unfairly disadvantage their rivals, all at the expense of competition and consumers." Schumer said Tuesday his emphasis was on a bill to boost chip manufacturing, and on judicial confirmations. Asked about antitrust bills, he said:"I'm working with Senator Klobuchar. I support these bills. ... We have to see that we have 60 votes."
There has been discussion of considering Klobuchar's bill along with another bipartisan measure that addresses Apple and Google's control of their app stores.
