SIIA Against Bipartisan Antitrust Bill Aimed at Google, Meta

Bipartisan antitrust legislation introduced Thursday would likely force Google and Meta to sell parts of their businesses and would result in fewer consumer choices (see 2205190054), the Software & Information Industry Association said Friday. The Competition and Transparency in Digital Advertising Act “continues a trend seen in other recently proposed legislation, where legislators seek to use the blunt instrument of antitrust law to punish a handful of large corporations, focusing only on a company’s size, not its conduct,” said President Jeff Joseph. “If there are issues that need to be addressed, this is the wrong way to do it.”
