The White House he published a "newsletter" listing the industries and policies that will be affected by a new bill to be signed by President Biden. The bill deals too much with technology companies.
Involves Internet service providers as Biden encourages Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to reinstate regulations internet neutrality that were overturned under the previous administration, require carriers to quote subscription prices and prevent them from throttling speed connections.
The Biden administration supports right-to-repair, as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will have the responsibility to “restrain powerful manufacturers hardware in preventing people from using independent repair shops or doing repairs themselves.”
For large tech companies, the Biden government's agenda includes laws that require "greater control of mergers, especially by dominant Internet platforms, with particular attention to emerging competitors, serial mergers, data aggregation, free competition" and the impact on user privacy. ”
Through the FTC, the Biden administration plans to put more regulations on the monitoring and data collection, which will affect many of the world's largest technology companies.
In the document, the administration claims that 72 initiatives are being taken to promote competition and increase wages, although it is up to various departments, as well as Congress, to move things forward.
The above promises of course seem unrealistic as the opponents are very strong and deeply rooted in the American system. Let's see how Congress will see the bill and if they agree on the new measuressettings.
As for the restriction of data collection by the big tech companies, this is probably easily explained. The power lies in information, and it seems that the Biden administration wants Big Data to exist only in its huge datacenters NSA.
