Sen. Cotton: My Bill Will Crack Down on Big Tech

Sen. Tom Cotton says it's time to revive competition and sharply limit further consolidations by Big Tech.

The Arkansas Republican made his comments in a column for Fox News on Tuesday.

"Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Apple are monopolistic technology corporations that dominate a greater market share in their fields than any similar firms in American history," he said.

"While size alone isn’t a problem, these firms have used their extraordinary wealth and power to buy up rivals, stifle competition and muzzle speech that they oppose. This harms Americans, and that’s why I have joined with Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., to introduce the Competition and Opportunity Act, which would stop the further consolidation of these tech giants.

"Google controls more than 90% of the search market, Amazon controls 80% of the e-book market and a huge share of cloud services, Facebook controls a majority of social media, and Apple – along with Google – share total control of the App Store market."
