A BILL
To break up big corporations and make mergers harder

Be it enacted by the Congress of the Republic of Atlasia assembled

Section 1. Title

This legislation may be cited as the Breaking Big Corporations Act.

Section 2. Regulations
1. No company whose business consists primarily of a digital platform shall preference itself in the sale of advertisements or in any other services provided; such companies shall also ensure adequate interoperability and data portability with competing platforms.

2. Mergers and acquisitions resulting in a significant change in market concentration under the Clayton Act shall be presumptively prohibited, unless the merging parties can prove that the merger would not have a significant negative impact on consumers or firms.

3. No contract clause mandating arbitration of disputes may apply to antitrust claims.

5. It is the sense of the Congress that the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice should investigate several technological corporations for engaging in anticompetitive practices which violate antitrust regulations. These include but are not limited to Microsoft, Google or Amazon.

a. It is the sense of the Congress that the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice should prioritize for enforcement violators whose companies make up large shares of national markets, rather than prioritizing smaller violators.

Section 3. Enactment
1. This bill shall become enacted on April 1st, 2021

People's Regional Senate
Passed 5-0 in the Atlasian Senate Assembled,
