Team -
The biggest technology companies in the world are some of the
worst actors in our economy - and our democracy. Big Tech has
engaged in anti-competitive practices, infringed on our privacy,
and allowed misinformation to run unchecked on their platforms.
The first step here is accountability. That's why I called the
CEOs of Amazon, Apple, Google, and Facebook to appear before the
House Judiciary Antitrust Subcommittee ↘️

These companies have incredible sway over our day-to-day lives
as Americans. But their entire business models prevent them from
engaging with the economy in a fair way, incentivizing users to
stay within the platforms - whether it be through acquisition or
algorithms - and crushing any competition on the outside.
Documents proved that Mark Zuckerberg bought Instagram in an
attempt to buy off Facebook's competition. When grilled on their
own anti-competitive practices and bullying, Apple and Google
were evasive. And Jeff Bezos had little to say on reporting that
shows his company uses seller data to undermine small businesses
and boost Amazon brands.
As I said in the hearing: "Simply put: They have too much
power."
Unfortunately, the CEO evaded our questions in many cases,
claiming not to know specifics about the documents or
interactions in question. This is unacceptable behavior from an
industry that completely dominates our way of life. The American
people deserve to know the facts.
Folks, I won't back down from this fight. Will
you make a contribution today to support our work to hold Big
Tech accountable?
