U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) introduced amendments to Bernie's Budget to protect consumers from Big Tech.
"Big Tech is gaining increasing control over our work, school, and healthcare platforms," said Senator Blackburn. "However, the companies--often ruled by malign actors--operate with a reckless disregard for consumer wellbeing. My efforts were aimed at amending Bernie's $4.2 trillion budget to promote accountability, strengthen online privacy, and evaluate mental health impacts for Americans."
Senator Blackburn Introduced Amendments To:
* Re-institute domestic bans on Chinese government-sponsored apps TikTok and WeChat.
* Conduct economic analysis of privacy harms.
* Fund National Science Foundation research on major social media platform censorship and its sociological impact.
