Republican Senators Must Choose Lee Over Hawley
Kudos then to Jeffrey Westling, a fellow at R Street, who nails it in
an incisive article [2] explaining exactly what is wrong with Sen. Hawley’s, “The Trust Busting for the 21st Century Act.”
This bill would amend the Sherman Act to exclude the need for defining a given market in specific circumstances, force defendants to show that commercially reasonable alternatives didn’t exist for anti-competitive conduct, and eliminate the Consumer Welfare Standard in favor of protecting economic competitors.
Westling takes care to delineate the careful way the law is currently used by courts to examine a firm’s conduct and the market it serves to determine if an anti-competitive harm has occurred.
Chair and members of the committee:
The freedom of speech sits at the very core of American society, and any attempts to limit the ability for Americans to communicate and express their opinions face significant public backlash. It is unsurprising then that many Americans have expressed concerns about the moderation practices of social media companies, which they often view as forces of censorship. However, in a rush to regulate, policymakers often ignore the First Amendment itself, attempting to have the government step in to take the place of private companies and their decisions regarding the type of content allowed on a given service. HB 7013 makes this same mistake, and worse does so in a way that will actively harm Floridians and Americans across the country.
