Rep. Pramila Jayapal, who's been tough on the tech industry, argues that regulation "...should not just tinker around the edges of corporate abuse; they have to get at the heart ... of unaccountable concentrations of power and fundamentally safeguard the public trust." — PolitiTweet.org

PK's @CharlottesWWWeb notes that interoperability in tech would be far simpler than in the telephone era, because now we have things like APIs and don't have to invent all-new switches like they had to for the phone system. — PolitiTweet.org

Cicilline is using his question time to basically build a stronger case for tougher laws, getting witnesses to say that corporate fines don't really work to restrain bad behavior and to explain how platforms' self-preferencing hurts competition and innovation. — PolitiTweet.org
