Seems like this proposal is essentially just anti-trust legislation. I'm all for it. What I particularly like about it is that she's demonstrating her commitment to the citizenry, not to the Democratic party. She's not only going after coal companies or traditional (R) strongholds. She's taking on tech, a left-leaning industry, too. This is the type of bipartisanship I think we need to see in candidates and politicians.

I fully support this move. And tech companies are going to fight her tooth and nail.

I wonder if that would forbid Comcast from using their internet
I really do hope we don't end up with an internet connection counting as a platform.
