Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) calls for the breakup of large technology companies, arguing that they hold excessive power over consumers. In interviews reported by multiple outlets, she says big tech seeks “totally unchecked power” and behaves as though it were a governing body rather than a private business. The remarks come alongside criticism of rising prices and broader concerns about market power and consumer protection. Ocasio-Cortez argues that splitting these companies would help limit their influence and reduce harm to the public, framing the issue as one of accountability and competitive balance rather than as a specific complaint about a single product or platform. The outlets report that she presented the view that current conditions allow major technology firms to operate with too little constraint. Her comments also reference the wider role of large tech firms in the economy and technology policy, including debates over artificial intelligence and regulation. Overall, both sources describe her position as a call for structural reforms to address perceived power imbalances affecting consumers.
