Top former national security officials are fighting over the geopolitical and economic security implications of a group of bipartisan antitrust bills gaining traction in Congress.
The bipartisan antitrust legislation, which passed the House Judiciary Committee last June, includes six sweeping antitrust bills aimed at reining in unfair monopolistic behavior by tech companies such as Apple, Amazon, Google, and Facebook.
They argue that today's platforms feature security flaws because of a lack of competition in the tech industry and that self-preferencing behavior undermines consumer security.
“I’m not in favor of Big Tech because of their speech and antitrust issues, but we need much more narrowly tailored solutions because these bills won’t help consumers. And instead, China will be racing ahead,” O'Brien told the Washington Examiner. The two most significant antitrust bills moving through Congress are the American Innovation and Choice Online Act, which would prevent tech giants like Amazon from unduly favoring their own products on their websites or creating cheaper copycats of existing products using internal data, and the Open App Markets Act, which would regulate the management of Apple's and Google's mobile app stores and enable greater competition on the platforms.
Former national security officials in support of the antitrust bills say the tech companies are using China as a boogeyman to protect monopolistic practices.
