Has Big Tech become too powerful? Amazon, Apple, Alphabet, Meta, and Microsoft shape how we shop, communicate, and consume information. But has their dominance gone too far? Advocates argue these firms are monopolies that harm competition, exploit consumer data, and wield disproportionate influence over public discourse. Structural reforms would restore fairness and innovation. But critics warn that breakups could damage user experience, slow innovation, and disrupt integrated ecosystems people rely on. Now we debate: Should the U.S. Government Break Up Big Tech?

Arguing Yes:  
Bharat Ramamurti, Founder of The Bully Pulpit; Former Deputy Director of the National Economic Council  
Matt Stoller, Director of Research at the American Economic Liberties Project  
 
Arguing No:  
Geoffrey A. Manne, President and Founder of the International Center for Law & Economics 
Jennifer Huddleston, Senior Fellow in Technology Policy at the Cato Institute 
 
Emmy award-winning journalist John Donvan moderates
