  You'll be shocked to learn that all the groups wanting to stop Big Tech antitrust reform are funded by Google, Facebook, and Amazon. https://gizmodo.com/...

  One takeaway from convos this week: Lobbyists for Google, Amazon, Apple and Facebook rarely argue that legislation they oppose will hurt their own business. They claim it'll hurt small businesses, it'll hurt consumers, it'll hurt other parts of the economy, etc.

  The 4 Silicon Valley monopolies — Apple, Google, FB & Amazon — see the very real possibility that their power can finally be constrained. They're waging an all-out lobbyist effort to stop it. Right now, the 2 key obstacles are McCarthy & Jordan: https://www.nytimes.com/...

  Over the past 18 months, I've heard from hundreds of small businesses who have been crushed by Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Apple's anticompetitive conduct. This is gaslighting. It's time to hold Big Tech accountable for crushing competition. https://www.cnbc.com/...

  The majority of small businesses on Amazon use its fulfillment service because if they don't, Amazon buries their listings in its search results. By breaking up Amazon, we stop it from leveraging its retail monopoly into every other industry. https://www.bloomberg.com/...

  Just like the police, these companies can't be reformed at all. They need to be just broken apart and given back to the people (not shareholders, they're fine) https://twitter.com/...

  🔥 from @richluchette. Interesting to see actual quotes in here from Facebook, Amazon and Google. For those scoring at home, this happens when their paid proxies are failing due to lost credibility. https://www.cnbc.com/... https://twitter.com/...

  Big Tech companies have become too big to care. My bill will end their monopolies and rein in their anti-competitive behavior. https://twitter.com/...
