House lawmakers have introduced five new bills that would place significant limits on major tech companies, including Apple, Google, Facebook and Amazon.


I have never been able to understand most of the politics nor the legislations of the United States, but it was always my understanding that they were always proud of their "freedom" and capitalization and commercialism. Something all the above companies have been very successful at. It seems it is now time to suddenly change the location of the goalposts. Oh well... scratch head and carry on I guess... 😉

But unfortunately, such U.S. legislation usually often spills over into other countries such as Canada where it can have double the unwanted effects they were expecting or not thought of.
