| Biden is called to reduce the influence of technology companies |
In his unanimous speech of the week, 32 antitrust laws, consumers, employment, and related groups called on US President-elect Biden to reject the influence of major tech companies on his administration.
Earlier this month, Reuters reported that Biden's transition team had appointed more tech leaders than critics to criticize the technology, which had provided evidence to influence his government's thinking.
The letter asked the Biden administration to exclude executives, lobbyists, and advisors working for companies such as Facebook, Amazon, Alphabet, Apple and Microsoft.
These groups show that the company's business practices harm consumers and the US economy.
Signatories to this letter include The Citizens, the American Economic Freedom Project, the Open Market Institute, the Progressive Democrats of America, the Revolving Door Project, and the Athens Alliance.
The message reads: "We believe that your leadership must deal with the threat posed by the big tech monopolies, and only if you do not depend on the subsidiaries of those companies to form a government, we can keep it." Responsible company. "
With the exception of Microsoft, all of these companies face investigations into their business practices by the federal and state governments.
The message also states: We believe that, on the one hand, we are abolishing individual changes between legislators and regulators, and on the other hand, we are eliminating industry members (decades of history) affected by EU laws and regulations in Silicon Valley and your government. It helps flow between your career.
Reuters reported in October that big tech companies had come to the Biden government with money and contact details.
Privacy advocates and antitrust watchers have raised concerns about the number of Silicon Valley registered people that are on the Biden team.
The transition team consists of more than 20 people who have technical connections and who determine who is appointed to the federal agency.
Many of them are former Obama administration officials who have joined tech companies and become experts in public policy.
