You are broadly correct.
> The Democrat plan is more traditional antitrust in that it wants to break up companies rather than prevent coordinated censorship.
Well of course republicans are going to be against this. We have anti-trust legislation (DOJ needs to actually enforce it, like the Trump DOJ did with Facebook, but it got thrown out for some reason).
Passing a bill with the express purpose of targeting certain corporations comes too close to a bill of attainder for me.

And I support breaking up the big tech companies.
