This book aims to guide policymakers on what government can do to preserve competition and empower individual users in the huge swath of our economy now referred to as \"Big Tech.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMany Americans now wonder how they can reassert control over their lives after ceding so many decisions about our economy and our public discourse to private actors like Facebook, Google, and Amazon. But as Feld points out, we have faced similar challenges from new technologies before. Looking at more than a century of disruptive communications technologies from the telegraph to television to Twitter, Feld picks out patterns of what approaches have worked (and what hasn't) to promote competition, empower consumers and protect democracy. \"The Case for the Digital Platform Act\" provides a deep dive for policymakers on everything from specific recommendations on how to promote competition to a \"First Amendment checklist\" for content moderation, while remaining accessible to the general reader looking to participate in the debate over our digital future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Feld explains the need for a \"Digital Platform Act\" and for an agency specifically charged to regulate digital platforms on an ongoing basis. He proposes a new method of assessing a platform's dominance for purposes of new regulation. He also addresses questions around content moderation rights and responsibilities for companies that have found themselves policing the new public square, all while preserving the best things about digital platforms for their users. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePraise for \"The Case for the Digital Platform Act\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\" ...] a tour de force of the issues raised by the digital economy and internet capitalism.
