"Today's big tech companies have [too much power over] our economy, our society, and our democracy," wrote Warren in a blog post. "They've bulldozed competition, used our private information for profit, and tilted the playing field against everyone else. And in the process, they have hurt small businesses and stifled innovation."
Warren said that big tech companies use mergers to swallow competition and sell products on their own e-commerce platforms, which hurt smaller businesses' opportunities to succeed. Weak antitrust enforcement also resulted in "a dramatic reduction" in competition and innovation in the tech industry, according to Warren's blog post.
With conservative voices decrying Big Tech censorship, internet activists decrying privacy violations, and now Senator Warren calling for outright dismemberment, Big Tech might be in for a rocky stretch of road.

Someone should really split up AT&T.. it's getting huge. Trying to purchase Time Warner/CNN, even! Cable/phone/ISP/content provider together, no reason to let anyone else compete. Someone should really split that company up!

This is the real Collusion. AT&T tried to buy Time Warner, and thus CNN. I promised that's a merger we would not approve in my administration. You elected me to stop that one. And I stopped it. A promise kept. I said to Gary Cohn (National Economic Council), file the lawsuit, call Justice Dept. Get that lawsuit filed, I want that deal blocked! And Gary's a terrible listener, I had to tell him 50 times before it happened. But, it happened. Because of me.
Not before something horrible happened to me. I was on a long but successful trip to Asia. While in the Philippines I was forced to watch CNN, which I had not done in months, and again realized how bad, and FAKE, it is. Loser!
