“We welcome a thoughtful policy discussion about these issues. We urge policymakers to ensure we protect small- and medium-sized businesses from harm to allow them to flourish and maintain the United States as the best country in the world to start, build, and grow the next generation of iconic global brands.
“Many of the large companies we see today started from humble beginnings and have gone on to serve billions of customers and create opportunities for millions of employees and thousands of small businesses. In a dynamic economy, tech has empowered countless individuals to create new products that are shaping our future, and with the right regulatory balance, the American technology sector will continue to drive America’s global competitiveness.”
