Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., Unveiled new legislation to sharpen corporate control over politics and restore power in U.S. hands, who told Tucker Carlson Tonight on Monday that his plan would break up Big Tech and ‘difficult new fines’ can allow companies trying to disregard the laws of trust.
Hawley: No corporation should be so large and so powerful that it can control the political process, that it can dominate the will of the voters. And that is exactly what the contemporary mega – corporations that have grown big and fat with the help of the government are trying to do.
So here’s what my plan would do. In the first place, it will break up the big tech companies and have them cut off different parts. Amazon, for example, would not be able to have the dominant e-commerce platform and also control the cloud. This will break the big corporations. No more mergers and acquisitions by the largest companies in America, the big banks do not allow. Hard new fines for companies that violate our trust laws and also a new ability for prosecutors to go to these trusts. And at the end of the day … a new focus for antitrust law, that is: it should be about promoting competition. Freedom is protected when there is competition, not when there is monopoly.
