• Yelp, Sonos, DuckDuckGo and Spotify wrote to Senators to vote for antitrust bill against Big Techs
• Klobuchar said she had 60 Senate votes needed to end debate and move to vote on final passage
Several companies and business organizations sent a letter to the US senators on Monday urging them to support an antitrust bill aimed at reining in the Big Techs like Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Alphabet Inc’s (NASDAQ: GOOGL) Google.
A bipartisan group of senators, including Democratic US Senator Amy Klobuchar and other lawmakers, introduced an antitrust bill in May, aiming at conflicts of interest in the advertising technology industry.
