>Doubtful... it seems neither party is interested in breaking up monopolies. They'd both rather bend them to their interests is some selfish power move.
Except reality[0] doesn't comport with your statement. That's not to say that the bills proposed are perfect, but they are from one party (and not the one trying to block municipal broadband in OH).

Did you even read the article you linked? There's clear Republican involvement...
"“Big Tech companies are stifling American innovation with their monopolistic behavior,” said Rep. Lance Gooden (R-Tex.), who co-sponsored two of the bills.""
"Bipartisan movement
It’s unclear whether any of these bills will pass. The last one, the Merger Filing Fee Modernization Act, appears most likely at this point since it’s a relatively incremental piece of legislation that already has bipartisan support in both chambers. But the fact that the other bills, which garnered bipartisan support in the otherwise highly partisan House, suggests that a major overhaul of antitrust law may be imminent, even if these specific bills don’t survive."

Just some food for thought.
