Ted Cruz and Elizabeth Warren have bonded over ripping Facebook. Massachusetts liberal Ed Markey has teamed up with Missouri conservative Josh Hawley to sponsor an online privacy bill. Even Nancy Pelosi and Donald Trump have found a common target in tech, each jabbing the industry over a series of perceived misdeeds.
“I think we’ve reached a tipping point. I think it’s a sign there’s really no going back from here," said Michelle Richardson, director of the Center for Democracy and Technology's Privacy and Data Project. "The interest here is deep and will be long-term and there’s no way we’re going to get out of having some federal regulation on some of these issues.”
That shared concern could seriously boost the prospects of not just the targeted bills that odd couples have produced so far, but also more sweeping legislation aimed at reining in tech titans like Facebook, Google and Amazon, particularly with respect to their vast scale and power and their data practices. And it lends heft to 2020 presidential aspirants' pledges to crack down on Silicon Valley, as Democratic candidates like Sens.
