Progressive organizations are going big on anti-monopoly messaging as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce defends Big Tech.
Driving the news: As the Chamber launches attacks on antitrust moves against tech’s biggest firms, the group Fight Corporate Monopolies is launching a new “War Room” campaign Thursday, per an announcement shared exclusively with Axios.
- Wednesday the Chamber released a report arguing that proposed antitrust bills in Congress aimed at Big Tech companies like Google, Apple, Meta and Amazon would harm American competitiveness and undermine national security. It also charges that Federal Trade Commission chair Lina Khan is hurting U.S. business.
- Fight Corporate Monopolies is shifting from Big Tech to Big Everything: the group was also responsible for the Freedom From Facebook and Google campaign, which aggressively advocated for tech breakups.
