@JoshuaTaylorK Yes, certainly possible. The bills don’t name specific companies but it’s clear they’re being written to cover a broad range of circumstances and practices. And the committee has previously alleged that Apple has abused its dominance. — PolitiTweet.org

The committee has now posted the legislation at these links here: https://t.co/qonoT8Q70T https://t.co/xSOWWLgxGF https://t.co/10c7YwRikb https://t.co/6oYKFWFJX5 https://t.co/zZufmOnCJz — PolitiTweet.org

Other proposals include increasing the fees that large platforms must pay in exchange for filing merger paperwork, and requiring platforms to be interoperable so it's easier for consumers to migrate from one platform to another. — PolitiTweet.org

👆 Small tweak: Technically, this should read "Another bill." — PolitiTweet.org

Other bills seek to prohibit so-called "killer acquisitions." Facebook has borne the brunt of the criticism in this area, particularly over its purchase of Instagram. — PolitiTweet.org

The classic example would be Amazon selling goods on its own marketplace. But it would also apply to Google promoting YouTube in search results. — PolitiTweet.org

Among the most significant of these is a bill banning tech giants from competing on the same platforms they own. Where this creates an "irreconcilable conflict of interest," the lawmakers say, platforms should have to spin off some assets. So what does this mean in practice? — PolitiTweet.org

This executive order does *not* affect the ongoing negotiations between TikTok and CFIUS on a solution to secure the data of US users, which is a separate process and never really stopped, according to a person familiar with the matter. — PolitiTweet.org

The Biden administration is revoking Trump's executive orders targeting TikTok, WeChat and other Chinese apps and replacing them with a broader order that is still aimed at the general idea of Chinese apps being a potential national security risk. Snippet of the new order: https://t.co/UODTi7cvlR — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
The fact that Colonial “fact-checked repeatedly” whether DarkSide was on any sanctions list shows that the warnings are at least being considered. But it also reveals a determination to pay that’s a problematic sign for US officials who want to make ransomware less rewarding. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
But of course, we don’t really know if the warnings have really deterred anyone from paying up as intended. And in the case of Colonial, the warnings didn’t seem to apply — the company determined that the hackers were not on any kind of sanctions list. So paying would be legal. — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
To try to disrupt that calculus, the Treasury Department has warned businesses that sending ransom payments to entities subject to US sanctions may be viewed as a federal violation. Scary! — PolitiTweet.org
Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung
This is interesting because all ransomware boils down to a question of financial incentives. To a company as essential as Colonial, paying a few million up front is absolutely worth it in the face of potential disruption that could cost you far, far more. The fear is the thing. — PolitiTweet.org
