Surprising no one, the American Innovation and Choice Online Act made its way out of committee on Thursday. I know we covered it a lot here yesterday, But Engadget gives it a good, quick summation. Sponsored by Senator Amy Klobuchar (D - Minnesota), the piece says this bill:
…would prohibit Amazon from promoting its own Amazon Basics gear over similar products in search results. Similarly, Apple and Google would be barred from pushing their in-house apps over those from third-party developers in their respective app stores. The bill passed out of both the antitrust subcommittee and the primary judiciary committee with the support of that vote and will now be put forth on the Senate floor.
