Antitrust TikTok is a thing!

We’re thrilled to have partnered with @socialcurrant to elevate young, diverse TikTok creators interested in supporting historic bipartisan legislation to #ReinInBigTech.

Congress is considering two bipartisan bills to #ReinInBigTech’s societal harms and monopoly power:

1️⃣ American Innovation and Choice Online Act

2️⃣ Open App Markets Act

Don’t just take it from us. The U.S. has a long history of creating and enforcing strong antitrust laws to protect competition and consumers. History teacher and TikTok creator Dana Fortune explains: tiktok.com/@danafortune/v…

.@truemper_jake rewinds to 1890 to explain the history of antitrust legislation in the U.S. and why early antitrust laws may be outdated for today’s Big Tech monopolies.

As Dana Fortune explains, unchecked monopoly power has allowed Big Tech to exploit and harm users, workers, and democracy. It’s time for Congress to pass historic bipartisan legislation to #ReinInBigTech.
