South by Southwest long ago ceased to be just an annual film, tech, and music festival. The Austin conference-so popular it's been known simply as SXSW for much of its 32 years-is now the haunt of ambitious politicians. This year they've come to bash the tech giants. At one event was Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, who promised legislation that could break up Facebook Inc. or Alphabet Co.'s Google. At another was Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), who declared that she wants to make antitrust "cool again"-a clear swipe at the same companies. And then there was the European bureaucrat who's won global notoriety and who probably more than almost anyone else makes U.S. technology executives quake in fear and anger: Margrethe Vestager.
