The largest online communication, entertainment, and social media platforms have come under increasing regulatory scrutiny for intruding too much into user privacy, skewing the content viewers see, and wielding too much market power.
The FTC and Department of Justice have both announced they are investigating major tech platforms for potential antitrust violations. Congress is considering a range of legislative proposals that would address concerns over privacy, competition, political bias, and tech addiction.
