      from https://lemmy.ca/comment/13913116

      Two bills were ready, with bipartisan support. Chuck Schumer (who coincidently has two daughters working as big tech lobbyists) refused to bring the bills for a vote.

      At a 2024 event covering antitrust remedies, out of all the invited senators, just a single one showed up - JD Vance.

      Chuck Schumer is democrat, JD Vance is republic. Would guess opinion based on personal experience with few people.

      By cherry picking a few Republican priorities designed to spite big tech and totally ignoring the big enforcement efforts that the Biden administration has pursued through the FTC and the DOJ Antitrust Division, in both tech and non-tech industries.
