She cited a scenario of an Amazon device providing customers the option of buying groceries only from Amazon-owned Whole Foods.\n“In home technology, we see some of the most powerful firms that dominate tech today poised to dominate the platforms of the future,” she said. “Consumers should choose, not vertically integrated tech giants.”\nThe hearing marked the latest move by lawmakers on Capitol Hill to scrutinize the practices of the tech industry’s biggest companies as they consider potential reforms to antitrust laws to impose tighter regulations on the companies. Klobuchar and Senator Mike Lee of Utah, the senior Republican on the antitrust panel, have both introduced their own legislation to overhaul and strengthen antitrust enforcement. House lawmakers last week introduced their own proposals.\nEddie Lazarus, chief legal officer for Sonos Inc., said the business practices of Google and Amazon make it hard for the speaker company to compete. He said the companies infringe on 150 patents held by Sonos, among other complaints.\nAmazon executive Ryan McCrate testified that Amazon makes its technology available to other developers so that competing music services, for example, are available through its voice-assistant service Alexa. He said Amazon founded a coalition of companies committed to ensuring that consumers have access to multiple, simultaneous voice services on a single device.\nWilson White, a senior director of government affairs at Google, said the company prioritizes consumer choice and privacy. On many devices that use Google’s Android operating system, consumers can choose to set up rival voice assistants like Alexa, he said.\nLee cautioned against giving tech companies even more power to steer consumer choices as new products enter the home.\n“Why would be want to give big tech more control and more influence over our daily lives? We know they don’t always exercise this power in the best interest of society,” Lee said. “Surely we know enough to know this isn’t going to end well.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":4794166,"gmtCreate":1623802700011,"gmtModify":1663228957140,"authorId":3579570110340350,"author":{"id":3579570110340350,"authorId":3579570110340350,"name":"Anniet","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3f443f29823834bbea85dd67baf5dfda","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":160529820,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"<u>yes</u>","text":"<u>yes</u>","html":"<u>yes</u>"},{"id":4794171,"gmtCreate":1623802706654,"gmtModify":1663228955547,"authorId":3579570110340350,"author":{"id":3579570110340350,"authorId":3579570110340350,"name":"Anniet","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3f443f29823834bbea85dd67baf5dfda","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":160529820,"type":1,"supId":4793923,"prevId":0,"content":"<u>lol</u>","text":"<u>lol</u>","html":"<u>lol</u>"},{"id":4793923,"gmtCreate":1623802414616,"gmtModify":1663228954342,"authorId":3564539038897071,"author":{"id":3564539038897071,"authorId":3564539038897071,"name":"KCNG","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":160529820,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"<u>Good</u>","text":"<u>Good</u>","html":"<u>Good</u>"}],"langContent":"EN"}],"hasMoreComments":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":106,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
