An advocacy group has sent mobile billboards to Chuck Schumer’s DC and Brooklyn homes to convince the Senate majority leader to schedule a vote on bipartisan antitrust legislation that would curb the power of Big Tech platforms.

The truck-mounted ads arrived at the Democrat’s residences on Saturday promoting MakeSchumerWatchJohnOliver.com, which hosts a 26-minute clip of the HBO host John Oliver promoting the legislation.

“Everyone knows that Democrats are facing a tight election year, and I just don’t think that he can afford to fumble another major effort like this,” said Evan Greer, director of Fight for the Future, which paid for the ads.

“He needs to start acting like a majority leader, not a minority leader,” Greer told The Post. “Chuck Schumer is the only thing standing between these bills and passage.”

The John Oliver segment touts the bills while pointing out that Schumer’s daughters work at companies that would be impacted by the legislation. Jessica Schumer is a registered lobbyist at Amazon and Alison Schumer works at Facebook as a product marketing manager.

...schedule a vote on bipartisan antitrust legislation that would curb the power of Big Tech platforms.

Fat chance that Schumer or any democrat is going to curtail the power they have via big tech. It's their main reason for 'winning' the recent elections. It would be like China and Putin giving up the power they have over the U.S. via Biden. Not gonna happen.
