What it does
The bill creates rules for very large tech companies. These companies must have over $175 billion in yearly revenue and 34% of U.S. users. They cannot favor their own products over others. They cannot block connections between services or use competitor data against them. They cannot lock users into defaults. The FTC, Department of Justice, and state attorneys general can sue. Fines range from 1 to 10 percent of U.S. revenue. Courts must decide cases faster than normal.
Who it affects
Small businesses and people who use big tech platforms gain clearer rights. Tech companies with over $175 billion in yearly revenue face new limits. The bill affects only the largest tech companies.
One thing to notice
The bill does not name which companies it covers. The $175 billion revenue rule would apply to roughly five or six companies. Courts will have to decide what counts as breaking the rules. This may take years and create different results.
