US House antitrust panel has new rules to curb big tech: Report

Strategy aims to produce several small bills to thwart technology firms fighting one large piece of legislation: Source.

United States Democratic Representative David Cicilline, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee’s antitrust panel, is preparing to unveil 10 or more pieces of legislation aimed at reining in Big Tech companies, the Reuters news agency reported citing a source with knowledge of the matter. The subcommittee under Cicilline’s leadership released a 449-page report in October last year, which detailed abuses of market power by Apple, Amazon, Alphabet’s Google and Facebook. The strategy to produce a series of smaller bills is aimed at lowering opposition from technology companies and their lobbyists towards a single piece of legislation, the source said on Sunday.
