US senators Warren, Graham kick off bipartisan anti-Big Tech push

U.S. senators Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat, and Lindsey Graham, a Republican, said on Thursday they would push for an ambitious bill to create a new government regulator empowered to rein in Meta Platforms' (META.O) Facebook, Alphabet's (GOOGL.O) Google, Amazon.com (AMZN.O) and other Big Tech platforms.

For several years, bills intended to clip the wings of Big Tech companies have fallen short in U.S. Congress even as federal agencies wage legal battles against Google and Facebook over alleged violations of antitrust law.
