Two U.S. senators introduced a new bipartisan bill on July 27 aiming to rein in the power of big tech platforms that they said have been exploiting consumers’ data and threatening national security.

The bill, proposed by senators Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), will create a bipartisan regulatory body charged with policing tech platforms like Facebook, Google, and Amazon to promote competition, protect consumers, and strengthen national security.
