A group of “free-market and low-tax advocates” are urging House Republicans to back off plans to take antitrust action against Big Tech companies.

How about this - instead of pushing anti-trust enforcement, Americans will just push to outright ban all forms of social media based on “science” about the harms that they do to everyone. Good with you?

Google could avoid the antitrust threats if it only played fairly.

From the Breitbart piece....

A review of Google’s “most substantial contributions” found several of the signatories are also recipients of donations from the company, including: American Action Forum American Conservative Union Americans for Tax Reform Competitive Enterprise Institute National Taxpayers Union

You've got to be kidding me.... they take money from google?
