U.S. presidential candidates’ positions on breaking up Big Tech

As the U.S. Presidential race heats up, one of the platforms that they're running on is virtually all of them have a plan to break up big tech companies such as Amazon, Apple, FaceBook, and others.

Here's a breakdown of what each candidate believe:

Joe Biden: Biden, who was vice president in the Silicon Valley-friendly Obama administration, has said that splitting up companies such as Facebook was “something we should take a really hard look at” but that it was “premature” to make a final judgment.

Bernie Sanders: Sanders, who frequently criticizes corporate influence, has also called for the breakup of big tech companies such as Facebook and Amazon.

Elizabeth Warren: She has called for legislation to restrict large tech platforms – which she would designate as “platform utilities” -from owning and participating in a marketplace at the same time. Under this law, Apple would not be allowed to both run the App Store and sell its own apps on it, for example.
