The US Department of Justice has called on the Tech Giants to break the monopoly. Republican Congressman Ken Buck confirmed the call in an antitrust report.
Reuters has verified the veracity of the draft report, citing a Buck correspondent published in Politico.
In the draft, Buck expressed the power of the tech giants as a concern for democratic power. At the same time, the "lethal acquisition" policy of these firms to eliminate competitors has also been highlighted.
Strongly objecting to their acquisition, Buck raised the issue of a "single line" plan for their business. The social media platform Facebook is swallowing up organizations like WhatsApp and Instagram. The search engine Google is influencing business through YouTube and Android. At the same time, Amazon, a leader in the e-commerce sector, is making an aggressive impact in the cloud competing unit.
In the proposal, Buck wrote, “This proposal is a thin-screen call to break the technology giants. We do not agree with the approach of this majority of them. "
It is not yet known how many Republicans, led by Democratic Chairman David Ceciline, will support the report. Reports and recommendations with bilateral support usually have a big impact.
The report highlights how Apple, Amazon, Google and Facebook have used their power to see and understand the world and control it.
