House lawmakers introduced new antitrust bills on Friday which could change the tech industry as we know it. The bills address anticompetitive practice and – if passed – could have huge ramifications for the dealings of Apple, Google, Facebook, and Amazon.

Collectively called “A Stronger Online Economy: Opportunity, Innovation, and Choice,” the proposed bills were introduced following over a year of investigation into the competitive practices of Big Tech companies.

I would like to see google, amazon, and Facebook get broken up. I don't think Apple needs it though.

Apple could use the breaking up, maybe if they broke up they wouldn't use proprietary screws, and if they no longer used proprietary screws, their Operating System would be that much better. Because that is totally how it works
