In State of the Union, Biden calls for bipartisan antitrust enforcement
President Joe Biden renewed his pitch for bipartisan antitrust enforcement during his State of the Union address Tuesday — after a year in which Congress whiffed again on Big Tech legislation.
“We must finally hold social-media companies accountable for the experiment they are running on our children for profit,” Biden said. “And it’s time to pass bipartisan legislation to stop Big Tech from collecting personal data on kids and teenagers online, ban targeted advertising to children, and impose stricter limits on the personal data these companies collect on all of us.”
The president’s tech agenda is a natural byproduct of his decades-long, middle-class-themed “bottom up, middle out” philosophy. “Instead of advocating for arbitrary legislation that would target America’s most successful companies, weaken our national security, and degrade the products consumers and small businesses rely on every day, we also hope the president uses his speech to call for a federal privacy law — something that the administration, members of Congress, and most Americans agree should be a top priority,” TechNet CEO Linda Moore said in a statement.
