Big Tech is dropping $36 million to mislead and scare Congress about bipartisan and popular reforms that would ensure a fair digital marketplace. It’s time to pass the #OpenAppMarketsAct and to hold #BigTech accountable. wsj.com/articles/big-tech-ha…

Big Tech Has Spent $36 Million on Ads to Torpedo Antitrust Bill

The legislation would block Amazon, Google, Facebook and Apple from favoring their own products. By contrast, supporters of the bill have spent less than $200,000.

I was alive in the 1990s. I remember we had things like computers that weren’t connected to the Internet, and photo albums that weren’t subject to continuous real-time scanning. Society seemed… stable?
