When is the Administration going to act on the tech and social media giants?

Isn't that the job of Congress?

The executive branch is responsible for the Antitrust Division of the Justice Department as well as the FCC. Anti-monopoly laws date back to the 1890s. The Internet is as much a common carrier as are the telephone companies or the power companies. Would it be acceptable for the electric provider in California refused to sell power to Free Republic? So it should be with Big Tech. The last New York City native to hold the Presidency before Trump was Theodore Roosevelt, known as the Trust Buster. Trump should emulate his predecessor in that respect.
