Republicans and Democrats don't agree on health care, immigration or taxing the rich. Companies like Google, Facebook and Amazon are too big and powerful. Sen. Kamala Harris, a California Democrat, urged Twitter to suspend President Donald Trump's account for violating the service's rules
SAN FRANCISCO — Republicans and Democrats don't agree on health care, immigration or taxing the rich. But one subject draws critics from both parties: Big Tech.
Not that there is any danger of either happening any time soon, especially with an ongoing impeachment probe. Still, talking up Big Tech's problems has proven to be popular political rhetoric. Story continuesLeading the pack has been Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a Democratic presidential candidate who in March proposed breaking up big tech companies. She garnered immediate support, even from rivals such as Sen. Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican who retweeted Warren for what he said was the first time. Cruz said"she's right — Big Tech has way too much power to silence Free Speech."
A Republican-controlled Senate is unlikely to pass legislation that seems too anti-business. That includes breaking up tech companies seen as too monopolistic. The same likely goes for any privacy law that restricts companies' ability to target ads to their liking. Amid all this, at least in public, the companies have mostly kept a low profile. But there are occasional glimpses of behind-the-scenes activity. Leaked audio from an internal Facebook meeting in July captured Zuckerberg acknowledging that if"someone like" Warren is elected, he expects Facebook to fight back — and prevail — against efforts to break it up in court. But he added:"And does that still suck for us? Yeah.
