'Big Tech cannot, and should not, choose how it will be held accountable in a time when its damaging effects are becoming clearer by the day,' a letter led by Public_Citizen and signed by 25 other groups urges Democratic members of Congress.
"Big Tech cannot, and should not, choose how it will be held accountable in a time when its damaging effects are becoming clearer by the day," stressed more than two dozen advocacy groups.U.S. lawmakers should"reject the notion that Congress must choose between antitrust and privacy reforms" when seeking to rein in Big Tech's anti-competitive behavior, a letter from 26 public interest organizations to Democratic legislators asserted Monday.
"Recent remarks by Big Tech corporate leadership and its advocates have presented Congress with a false choice: fix corporate concentration or fix privacy. There is no reason that Congress should be so limited," the letter, which was led by the consumer advocacy group Public Citizen, states. The letter accuses tech companies of"attempting to deflect from the momentum behind legislation that will cut into their profit-making foundation of surveillance and anti-competitive gatekeeping," largely by highlighting"polling that shows favorable public attitudes towards laws protecting user privacy online as proof that Americans do not want antitrust reform."
