ONCE THE FRESH-FACED DARLINGS OF D.C., BIG TECH executives now receive a decidedly cooler reception on Capitol Hill. On Sept. 5, Twitter chief Jack Dorsey and Facebook second-in-command Sheryl Sandberg got a tongue lashing in Senate hearings.
“You’re going to have to do something,” warned Republican Senator James Risch of Idaho, or risk facing a crackdown from lawmakers and regulators. Google, whose co-founder Larry Page refused to show up at the hearings at all, drew even more vitriol. “Maybe it’s because they are arrogant,” said Florida GOP Senator Marco Rubio.
It’s not just talk. The biggest question at the confluence of business, technology and politics right now is whether America’s tech titans have grown too big and should be subject to tough new rules or aggressive antitrust actions, including the federal government’s breaking up the behemoths as it did AT&T in 1982. The answer may depend on whether the rising political ire is enough to overcome decades of antiregulatory doctrine that narrowly—and perhaps naively—defines the harm corporate giants might unleash.
