Sen. Elizabeth Warren pledged that if elected president in 2020, she’ll break apart each of those tech giants and introduce sweeping new regulation of Silicon Valley.
amid staunch local opposition and fierce criticism from national figures such as Warren, who felt Amazon had received “taxpayer bribes” from New York.
Previously, Democratic presidential candidates jockeyed to be seen as digitally savvy in the hopes of courting young voters and raising critical cash from tech moguls’ deep pockets. Then-candidate Barack Obama even appeared at Google headquarters during the early days of his 2008 campaign. Sen. Amy Klobuchar , another 2020 presidential hopeful, broadly has decried the “major monopoly problem” in the United States — particularly with big tech. Sen. Bernie Sanders , meanwhile, has tangled with Amazon over its business practices, particularly its treatment of workers. While neither they nor any other presidential contenders have issued a plan as aggressive as Warren’s, tech experts in Washington said the party in general had set its sights on reining in the tech industry.
