The big question from last night's debate moderators: Do the largest tech companies need to be broken up?
Sen. Bernie Sanders, D-Vt., seemed to take a similar stance to Warren on the debate stage, condemning the consolidation of industries including not just tech but also finance and media.
"We would allow no publisher to do what Facebook is doing, to publish that ad that Senator Warren has rightfully called out, that CNN has refused to air because it is untrue and tells lies about the Vice President," O'Rourke said. "Treat them like the publisher that they are, that's what I will do as president."
"We have a reality in this country where antitrust from pharma to farms is causing trouble. And we have to deal with this," Booker said. "As president of the united states I will put people in place that enforce antitrust laws."Former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julian Castro did not specify how he would tackle the Big Tech companies but said he believes "that we're on the right track in terms of updating how we look at monopolistic practices.
