NASE, a founding member of the Small Business Roundtable, worked with its SBR partners to submit the below letter to Congressional leaders on the upcoming legislative discussions around regulating "Big Tech"- the letter attempted to highlight the areas in which there is agreement on related to the power of technology and digital tools, specifically the letter addressed: We agree: We are living in a new unprecedented time where technology and innovative digital tools play an outsized role in our lives and in the market. We need to find a new way to regulate this and update rules to make a more level playing field for small businesses. We agree: Online marketplaces have dramatically lowered barriers for small businesses, resulting in even more competition that has benefited consumers. The number of American small and medium sized business (SMBs) selling on these new platforms has grown exponentially. But, above all we agree: The story here is not black and white. Writing a new set of rules in a vacuum doesn’t help entrepreneurship or small business. Neither does ignoring the fact that new rules are needed to build a more equitable economy than the one we had before Covid-19. We look forward to working with Congress on this important and timely policy debate. SBR Sign on Letter: Common Ground
