with CEOs like Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter’s Jack Dorsey were typical for a party seeking to boost its appeal to tech-savvy young voters.But this year’s Democratic presidential field is sounding a much different message — from Bernie Sanders’ complaints about Amazon’s wages and tax avoidance to Amy Klobuchar’s pledge to enact data privacy laws.
Klobuchar sounded the theme at the very start of her campaign, during the announcement speech in February where she stood in blowing snow in Minneapolis.The 2020 Election. The New Congress.

Even Cory Booker, a Stanford grad with close ties to Silicon Valley, used a recent NPR interview to lump tech in with other powerful lobbies that need to be reined in. "We need to make sure that whether it's Silicon Valley or the pharma industry or the big ag, we need to hold people accountable for their actions," he said.
Should a Democrat win the White House from President Donald Trump, the tech industry might find itself the target of serious efforts to tame what Pete Buttigieg — the 37-year-old mayor of South Bend, Ind., and a long-shot White House hopeful — calls tech's "complete Wild West environment."
Outdated... she calls for them to censor people just today.
Big tech abused is the enemy of Progressives. What Facebook is doing (or not doing) is beyond what any platform should have the power to control. The speed of their growth has outpaced any kind of oversight that would protect the American people. Senator Warren is right.
The high tech companies are the authors of their own demise, whether it's Facebooks data mining and playing host to the Russian trolls or Youtube still running skin head videos the companies have rightly become suspect.
The problem is the monopoly, misinformation,etc. What the hell has happened to Politico?
No, maybe dems just want to bring back some of the anti-trust laws that helped keep check so our capitalistic society works for everyone. Democrats, are continuously showing they are once again becoming the party for the people.
It would be nice to see some bipartisanship on this issue. One can dream...
They are too big, unable to keep their platforms hate free...
It’s a sign that Elizabeth Warren has a problem with big tech; no evidence that other Democrats feel the same.
The government should have and exclusively run on a government Linux distro. This would save the taxpayers hugely on licensing and enable better security management of their systems, as well as contributing to the free and open sourced software the internet and more run on.
Well she's definitely correct.
Yet she'll use Facebook to fund-raise and try to get elected.
