Groups Allied with High-Tech Companies Oppose Antitrust Bills

Thirteen organizations, many allied with high-tech companies, wrote to the U.S. House Judiciary Committee urging lawmakers to vote against two of the most far-reaching antitrust bills that the committee will discuss this week. The two bills — one introduced by Representative David Cicilline, chair of the antitrust subcommittee, and the other by Representative Pramila Jayapal — address the issue of giant companies, such as Amazon.com Inc. and Alphabet Inc.'s Google, creating a platform for other businesses and then competing against those same businesses.
