Yes, "curtail the power" is a little too formal for daily conversation. If you don't want to sound too formal, I recommend using the words "decrease," "reduce," or "lessen." Ex: ...and lessen the power of big tech companies. Ex: ...and reduce the power of big tech companies. Ex: ...and decrease the power of big tech companies.
