Tech companies like Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple and Microsoft are stifling competition and innovation and should be subject to new antitrust rules, a new U.K. government report on Wednesday said.
"The digital sector has created substantial benefits but these have come at the cost of increasing dominance of a few companies which is limiting competition and consumer choice and innovation," said Jason Furman, former chief economic advisor to ex-President Barack Obama, who chaired the group behind the report.
"These pro-competition tools offer a better, more targeted, more pro-business and pro-consumer solution to fostering competition in digital markets than one based upon changing antitrust law to drive breakup or structural separation of dominant businesses," the report said. Last week, France unveiled a 3 percent digital tax on big internet companies, while Germany's antitrust watchdog said in February it would impose restrictions on how Facebook gathers user data. India imposed new restrictions on e-commerce giants including Amazon and Walmart last month.

Elizabeth Warren unveils plan to 'break up big tech,' including Amazon, Google, FacebookDemocratic presidential candidate and senator Elizabeth Warren wants to 'break up' growing tech monopolies owned by Amazon, Google and Facebook because they stifle innovation and hurt small businesses. Great idea. Pass on the massive revenues these businesses have to smaller entities. One problem, these 'smaller entities' do not have to be American. All this achieves is taking vast amounts of revenue from the US Treasury and giving it to foreign treasuries. Thanks. Catch and kill How many small businesses rely on all 3 of those big companies? Facebook is free marketing for small business, Amazon makes it easy to ship your product, google makes it easy to find your product. She’s clueless

Warren Wants To Break Up Amazon, Facebook, GoogleThe biggest tech companies have gotten too big, presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren argues. She is proposing to break up Amazon, Facebook and Google, regulate them like utilities and unwind many of the acquisitions the firms have made in recent years.

This policy is designed for votes as there is no legal justification. Poking the Big Tech hornet's nest is an...unusual tactic. 🙄
