House Republicans unveiled an agenda Wednesday aimed at curbing the influence of Big Tech companies.
Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee led by Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan announced their agenda Wednesday to strengthen antitrust regulation of Big Tech, proposing expedited procedures for antitrust lawsuits, increased transparency of content moderation decisions, and Section 230 liability protection reforms.
“Big Tech has targeted conservatives for far too long,” Jordan tweeted. “House Judiciary Republicans have had enough.”
The agenda aims to incentivize legal challenges to Big Tech by requiring expedited treatment of antitrust cases against Big Tech companies at the trial court level. The proposal would also allow for direct appeal to the Supreme Court, and would enable state attorneys general to fast-track cases.
