The Digital Market Fairness and Antitrust Reform Act of 2025 is a law I’m advocating for to curb monopolistic practices in the digital marketplace, boost competition, and protect consumers like you and me. With the growing dominance of tech giants—such as social media platforms, e-commerce companies, and search engines—these companies have been able to control and manipulate markets, taking advantage of consumers and smaller businesses. This reform would put an end to these practices, ensuring a more fair and transparent market.

The law will:

Re-Define Monopoly by focusing on tech companies controlling over 40% of a market, making them subject to scrutiny and regulation.

Prevent Harmful Mergers and Acquisitions, blocking companies from absorbing their competition and reducing options for consumers.

Guarantee Consumer Data Ownership, allowing individuals to control and transfer their personal data across platforms, giving us back the power over our digital lives.

Increase Transparency around algorithms, search results, and ads, so we know exactly how we’re being influenced online.

End Predatory Pricing, which is when big companies undercut prices to crush smaller competitors, leaving consumers with fewer choices in the long run.

Establish a Digital Markets Task Force that will actively monitor these practices and enforce fairness in the digital marketplace.

Why People Should Sign the Petition:

1. Your Data, Your Control: This law guarantees you the right to control your data. No more companies profiting off your information without your permission. You’ll have the ability to take your data with you, no matter which platform you choose to use.

2. Fair Competition for All: It’s not just about the big players—this bill is about making sure small businesses and startups have a fair chance to succeed. When one company dominates the market, innovation dies. This reform helps level the playing field.

3. Transparency is Key: Digital platforms have become black boxes. We don’t always know why we see certain ads, posts, or search results. This bill demands transparency, ensuring companies disclose how they use algorithms and how they’re collecting and using your data.

4. Accountability for Big Tech: The companies that control our digital lives need to be held accountable. This bill will address unfair practices, like predatory pricing and anti-competitive mergers, making sure that the marketplace remains open and fair for everyone.

Section 1: Purpose

The Digital Market Fairness and Antitrust Reform Act of 2025 aims to regulate monopolistic practices, promote competition, protect consumers, and encourage innovation in the digital marketplace. The law seeks to ensure that no single company or group of companies can dominate key digital sectors in a way that harms competition, stifles innovation, or exploits consumers.

Section 2: Definitions

For the purpose of this Act, the following terms are defined:

1. Monopoly – A company or group of companies that controls 40% or more of the market share in any key digital sector, including but not limited to social media, e-commerce, search engines, digital advertising, and cloud computing.

2. Digital Platform – Any online platform that facilitates interaction, trade, or data exchange, including social media networks, search engines, e-commerce websites, or content hosting platforms.

3. Predatory Pricing – The practice of setting prices below cost with the intention of eliminating competition, after which prices are raised once market dominance is achieved.

4. Data Portability – The right of consumers to move, copy, or transfer their personal data from one service to another in a way that is easy and secure.

5. Consumer Data Ownership – The principle that consumers own their personal data and have the right to control how it is used, stored, or shared by third-party digital platforms.

Section 3: Re-Defining Monopoly in Digital Markets

1. Monopolistic Practices in Digital Markets A company or group of companies that holds more than 40% of the market share in a specific digital sector, such as social media, e-commerce, or search engines, will be classified as a monopoly.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will monitor the digital economy and investigate practices that inhibit competition in digital markets, focusing on acquisitions and pricing strategies that may limit consumer choice or restrict innovation.

Section 4: Strengthening Anti-Monopoly Regulations

1. Anti-Competitive Mergers and Acquisitions No digital platform or company that holds a dominant market share (40% or greater) shall engage in mergers or acquisitions that significantly reduce market competition.

Any merger or acquisition involving a company with dominant market power will be subject to thorough review by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and may be blocked or restructured to preserve competition.

2. Consumer Data Ownership and Control

Consumers shall own their personal data and have the right to transfer it across platforms.

Digital platforms must obtain explicit consent from users before using their data for purposes such as advertising or monetization.

Platforms must provide consumers with easy-to-use tools to access, transfer, and delete their data across platforms.

Section 5: Transparency in Digital Markets

1. Disclosure of Algorithms and User Data Practices

Digital platforms must disclose the details of their algorithms, particularly those affecting news feeds, search results, and advertising targeting.

Companies must ensure that algorithms are not used to unfairly prioritize certain content or advertisers over others in ways that harm competition or manipulate consumer choice.

2. Clear Data Collection Practices

Digital platforms must be transparent about their data collection practices and the scope of data they collect from users.

Terms of service and privacy agreements must be clear and straightforward, ensuring that consumers are fully informed about how their data is being used and shared.

Section 6: Fair Advertising and Pricing

1. Prohibition of Predatory Pricing

Predatory pricing by dominant digital platforms is prohibited. Companies using predatory pricing tactics to eliminate smaller competitors and later raise prices will be subject to penalties, including forced divestitures.

2. Transparency in Ad Pricing

Digital platforms must provide transparency in ad pricing models, allowing advertisers to understand how their ad dollars are being allocated and ensuring fairness in ad placement and competition for ad space.

Section 7: Enforcement and Oversight

1. Digital Markets Task Force

A Digital Markets Task Force will be created within the Federal Trade Commission to monitor compliance with this Act. The task force will investigate suspected violations, assess the impact of digital market practices on consumers, and enforce penalties for non-compliance.

2. Penalties for Violations

Companies found in violation of the regulations set forth in this Act will face significant penalties, including but not limited to:

Fines based on revenue generated from illegal practices,

Forced Divestitures to break up monopolistic holdings,

Dismantling of Digital Platforms where necessary to restore competition.

Section 8: Enhanced Privacy Protections

1. Stronger Consumer Privacy Protections

Digital platforms must implement stronger data protection measures, aligning with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union.

Consumers must be able to easily access, manage, and delete their personal data, ensuring their privacy rights are respected across digital platforms.

Section 9: Implementation and Review

1. Implementation Timeline

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will have 180 days from the passage of this Act to begin enforcing its provisions and to establish the Digital Markets Task Force.

2. Review of Effectiveness

An independent review of the effectiveness of the Act will take place every three years, evaluating its impact on digital market competition, consumer choice, and privacy protections.

Section 10: Severability

If any provision of this Act is found to be unconstitutional or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.
