div > div.group > p:first-child"> In a blog post, the Democratic candidate from Massachusetts wrote that she wants to make"big, structural changes to the tech sector to promote more competition." Those overhauls would include"breaking up" Amazon, Facebook and Google — companies that have come under scrutiny for both their protection of user data and consolidation of services such as e-commerce and digital advertising.
"Today's big tech companies have too much power — too much power over our economy, our society, and our democracy," Warren wrote."They've bulldozed competition, used our private information for profit, and tilted the playing field against everyone else. And in the process, they have hurt small businesses and stifled innovation.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent running for president as a Democrat, has also repeatedly targeted Amazon by urging it to boost wages and benefits for workers.
