Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) are teaming up on legislation to create a new agency that would have the power to regulate tech giants.
The bipartisan Digital Consumer Protection Commission Act, unveiled Thursday, would create an agency charged with oversight of Meta, Google, Amazon and other large tech companies and seek to promote industry competition and consumer privacy online.
The commission would work alongside the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Department of Justice (DOJ), the agencies that currently operate as antitrust enforcers, according to the bill.

“Use the laws on the books to end the big tech monopoly by breaking them up.”
Giving web publishers two choices instead of one Google revenue hog would help keep web publishing profitable.
IDIOTS!!!
So that you have MORE government and big tech colluding?
That’s all that will happen. This new government agency will still be under the executive branch, it will still get a budget approved by the House... The point being that all the political influences will be the same and nothing will change except that you have thousands more collecting a government paycheck, telling us how important they are, and why they need even more money next year.
Want to fix this, break them up. These are monopolies. The laws are already in the books.
But like everything else where the laws are already in the books but government is impotent, it’s that you have outside forces bearing down on the political and bureaucratic processes.
But that won’t happen because MOST of Congress is getting money from big tech or wants to o be on their good side, in one way or another.
In a world where a mere $10,000-$20,000 can already get a Congressman’s attention in what you want, what do you think sort of influence someone has that blows over $400 million by himself in one election? https://www.protocol.com/policy/zuck-bucks-election
No bigger government - just break them up.
we need to eliminate about 500 superfluous, useless, harmful, anti-Constitutional, and wasteful agencies first
Amazon might be broken up by the last digit of the zip code of where its warehouses are.
Odd numbered zip code warehouses might go to Amazon1.
Even numbered zip code warehouses might go to Amazon2.
That about sums it up for me too.
Meta might be broken up along red state/blue state lines.
New York-based users would go to MetaBlue.
Florida-based users would go to MetaRed.
Shareholders would get a shares of each.
So… you’re thinking that bringing in the deep state to rule them will lead to less tyrannical activity?
Shades of Atlas Shrugged.
Break up fedzilla.
Blue States.
Red States.
The national debt to be handled by agreed upon fossil fuel, corporate and share taxation.
If Warren’s involved, it’s because she thinks the tech giants aren’t censoring conservatives enough!
No agreement. We keep the oil.
If this were to actually happen, I suspect it would not be 50% split. More like 75(red)/25(blue). No sane person would want to live under the lying #ComDems.
And we would keep our private property and our weapons.
This has to do with only one thing: Censorship of our voices.
Question? What is the actual cost of operating DC?
If it was public, there would be a revolt.
No, that's exactly what it means.
After 911 we were told the government could no longer do its job protecting us UNLESS we created the Homeland Security agency. That was a lie.
What does the administrative state love more than itself? It loves politicians who add to the reach of its powers.
In this way Graham shows some of his true not very conservative colors.
The Fake Indian and the Fake Conservative.
We could call it “Tech Security Advisor”
TSA for short....then mandate it unionize....then start stalking anyone working in high tech.
Oh that is going to go well.
Could have read:
Two ranking Democrats...
Lindsey teaming up with Warren. What could go wrong?
