With a months-long recess on the horizon, House progressives are urging Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to act fast on two competition bills that would better equip antitrust enforcers to take on major tech firms.<\/p>\n

In a letter sent to Schumer on Friday<\/a>, more than a dozen Congressional Progressive Caucus leaders urged the Senate majority leader to schedule a vote on two bills in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is time for Congress to vote on this legislation,\u201d the lawmakers wrote. \u201cThese bills are ready for a vote and we urge you to schedule the vote on them in the next few weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bills \u2013 the American Innovation and Choice Online Act <\/a>(AICO) and Open Markets Act<\/a> \u2013were introduced on the heels of a 16-month long congressional investigation<\/a> into possible anticompetitive behavior by Amazon, Apple, Google, and Facebook\u2019s parent company Meta. If enacted, AICO would restrict dominant platforms<\/a> from favoring their own products or services over those of their competitors on their own platforms. Additionally, the Open Markets Act would bar companies like Apple and Google that operate app stores from setting onerous and expensive rules for developers. <\/p>\n
