Senator Hawley: "Big tech has embraced a business model of addiction. Too much of the 'innovation' in this space is designed not to create better products, but to capture more attention by using psychological tricks that make it difficult to look away." — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Hawley: "The simple fact of the matter is you shouldn't have to take on a mountain of debt & get a 4-year degree that you don't want to get a good job in our state or country. And you shouldn't be treated with a lack of respect because you don't have a 4-year degree." — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Hawley Press Office @SenHawleyPress

For decades, we've been told that you have to go to college to get a good job. But the cost of college is increasing & college degrees are no guarantee of a good job. It’s time to level the playing field, provide more options for career training & hold universities accountable. https://t.co/07JVUqnNAK — PolitiTweet.org

The entire moderation process of these big tech companies is shrouded in secrecy because they refuse to make their protocols public. If tech giants want to keep their government-granted immunity they must bring transparency and accountability to their editorial processes. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Hawley Press Office @SenHawleyPress

Big tech companies are the largest and most powerful companies today – with enormous resources and advanced algorithms they can use to help them moderate content. Those companies should not receive this government subsidy free of any responsibility. https://t.co/htfYltZm5d — PolitiTweet.org
