The US Senate Committee on Judiciary reports...

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) today introduced the American Innovation and Choice Online Act (AICOA). The targeted, bipartisan bill would restore online competition and affordability by preventing the world’s largest digital platforms from abusing their market power to stifle competition, undercut online businesses and raise prices for American consumers.

AICOA would allow the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and state attorneys general to challenge the world’s largest online platforms for discriminatory or exclusionary conduct that harms competition. AICOA preserves legitimate safety, privacy, intellectual property, national security and constitutional protections, as well as popular services provided by large digital platforms.
