Friend,

Big Tech companies have the power to sway elections, destroy competition
and take advantage of consumers. These powers should never be in the
hands of just a handful of companies, and yet, for nearly two decades,
we have allowed them to grow unchecked, flouting antitrust laws along
the way.

One bill would stop large tech firms from acquiring startups in order to
avoid competition, as Facebook did with Instagram and Whatsapp. Another
bill would force tech companies to sell off any part of their business
that might create a conflict of interest. Yet another would stop
companies from giving their own services preferential treatment over
their competitors. Another raises merger filing fees making it more
costly for Big Tech companies to grow through acquisitions.

The final, and perhaps the most feared of the bills under consideration,
is the Ending Platform Monopolies Act. If passed, it would prohibit tech
giants from selling their product lines on the platforms they own and
control — likely forcing them to shed the assets.

We can no longer sit back and watch as these companies continue to
participate in anti- competitive behavior. Big Tech must be reined in,
or we will all continue to pay the price.

Sign the petition and tell Congress you support legislation to reduce
the power of Big Tech companies.
