It was reported over the weekend that David Cicilline (D), the House Judiciary Committee’s Antitrust Panel’s Chairman, plans to propose at least ten (10) legislation pieces targeting Big Tech companies. Sources say that Representative Cicilline’s legislation bills will be aimed at social media platforms such as Facebook, as well as tech giants Apple, Amazon, and Google. The bill proposals will come on the heels of a 400-plus page report summarizing market power abuses by these companies.

Yahoo Finance, reporting on the story, states that the legislative bills are likely to target these Big Tech companies and the manner in which some of them, such as Facebook, “amplify user content.” It remains to be seen how the market power abuse report and the ensuing legislation will impact share prices of these companies, but the developments and the effects of the bills on the companies are sure to be interesting.
