You're oversimplifying the law. There's no legal speak as to what constitutes Big Tech. What if it's a social media company that does financial transactions?

Again. This is literally what law is all about. All existing law was created from baselines like these, and this is a very very poor excuse to refuse to regulate a massive and dangerous industry.

Refusing the ability for the government to absorb the data of big tech is not empowering them, it's weakening them.
