Facebook is accused of having a monopoly over the social media space and Google of dominating the online search realm as well as advertising markets. <\/p>\n<p>The report has been backed by the committee\u2019s Democrats, but was not endorsed by Republicans. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) pushed back against the report for not including allegations that tech companies are biased against conservatives.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"This_weeks_top_technology_stories\"><\/span>This week\u2019s top technology stories<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>In the 2020 election, killing Section 230 is the only bipartisan issue <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Trump blasted TikTok for collecting \u2018vast swaths\u2019 of data\u2014his 2020 app does the same thing <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Will a Biden-Harris administration break up big tech?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Right-wing militias have adopted QAnon with frightening ease <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6 signs it\u2019s time to get a new phone (Sponsored)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dailydot.us18.list-manage.com\/subscribe\/post?u=557794e049a42cb8dcdf4eacc&amp;id=14207741b3\"><em>Sign up<\/em><\/a><em>\u00a0to receive the best of the internet straight to your inbox.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"dd-article-leadart-image-credit\">\n<p>                                                                                                <span class=\"dd-article-leadart-image-credit-segment\"><br \/>\n                                        <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/pxhere.com\/en\/photo\/1152463\">Pxhere<\/a><br \/>\n                                    <\/span><\/p>\n<p>                                                            <span class=\"dd-article-leadart-image-credit-segment\">(Public Domain)<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Like this articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Social Media category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailydot.com\/debug\/congress-tech-giants-antitrust-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Congress calls tech giants monopolies in groundbreaking report &#8221; The report compares major tech companies to &#8216;oil barons and railroad tycoons.&#8217; A groundbreaking report released by Congress on Tuesday takes aim at the country\u2019s major tech giants over accusations they\u2019ve violated antitrust laws.
