BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

“Tech monopolies impede competition, harming consumers and small businesses. As the gatekeeper controlling the smartphones used by more than half of all Americans, Apple has restricted consumer choice, raised prices, and preferenced its own products and services — reducing quality and innovation across the digital economy. I strongly support today’s action by the DOJ to put a stop to Apple's anticompetitive conduct.

This case demonstrates why we must reinvigorate competition policy and establish clear rules of the road for Big Tech platforms. I will continue to push for updates to the antitrust laws, including the bipartisan American Innovation and Choice Online Act, to promote competition and innovation, strengthen our economy, and make sure consumers and small businesses benefit from free and fair competition.”
