Big Tech antitrust bill slowly gains steam in Congress, still likely short of needed votes

Big Tech’s most ardent critics have gained some momentum in pursuit of an antitrust overhaul to curb the power of companies such as Amazon and Google that have become integral to the everyday lives of millions of Americans.

The view that the tech giants are monopolies has united Big Tech’s bipartisan detractors who think Congress has an uncommon moment to deal a lasting blow, and the most viable currently in the pipeline is the American Innovation and Choice Online Act.

The bill’s supporters say it would make measured and necessary changes to antitrust laws to combat Big Tech.
