Senator @SenCoryGardner has been a champion for improving mental and behavioral health care, including work to establish ‘988’ as a nationwide suicide prevention hotline. The FCC will soon vote on setting that up! — PolitiTweet.org

Over the past 3 years, we modernized the infrastructure rules governing Internet builds. Those reforms freed up the private sector to invest 70% more per sub than European providers & build networks on an accelerated basis. That allowed our networks to outperform during COVID. — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

We’re relying on high-speed Internet connections more than ever before. And America’s Internet infrastructure continues to lead the world. While wireless speeds declined up to 40% in China, they increased in the US showing the strength & resiliency of America’s networks. 💪 🇺🇸 https://t.co/Dx5c9rH9Va — PolitiTweet.org

Big Tech continues to strengthen the bipartisan consensus for Section 230 reform. Good to join @SandraSmithFox to discuss. https://t.co/W5pPkxmcHs https://t.co/FoeQIpwQZZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator @SenCoryGardner has been knocking down barriers to high-quality telehealth services, including for mental health. Thanks to his CARES Act leadership, 3 more Colorado health centers were awarded federal funds this week. The total for Colorado so far is nearly $3 million. https://t.co/Qr95UNqWFE — PolitiTweet.org

Another straw man argument Big Tech pushes is that any reform to Section 230 will result in less speech, not more. Not so. One of Section 230’s stated policies is to empower consumers to make their own choices about content. Turning off the bias filters allows for more speech. https://t.co/YkRu8hM0Np — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

There’s growing and bipartisan support for reforming Section 230. So Big Tech is now trotting out a series of straw man arguments to slow down those efforts. Yesterday, Google blew away one of the arguments Big Tech has been making. https://t.co/TsdTQiXmsl — PolitiTweet.org

Google has strengthened the case for Section 230 reform. https://t.co/MJlJmEeApv https://t.co/97e4nHWihD — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

Big Tech made a big bet - that they could accumulate immense power and no one would do a thing about it. Progressives would cheer on their censorship and conservatives would sit on their hands. There’s now growing and bipartisan support for reform. https://t.co/MJlJmEeApv — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

Returning more power and control to consumers will be an important feature of Section 230 reforms IMO For instance, there’d be a stronger case for maintaining Section 230’s unique protections if Big Tech empowered consumers to opt out of their biased moderation choices. — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

One of the main purposes of Section 230 is to encourage social media companies to give users the tools to make their own decisions and control their own feeds. That has been lost in the recent debate, which has focused on the decisions Big Tech now makes for us. https://t.co/UCEmWYnP9d — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

Facebook’s new approach lets every citizen make that choice. If you don’t want to see a political ad, you can opt out. This is unacceptable to those “engaged citizens” b/c they don’t accept a diversity of views: everyone must agree with their views on “harmful” political ads. — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

Social media companies should be held accountable like every other business in this country. https://t.co/PjY7Bt1T7K — PolitiTweet.org

The picture does not do this fish justice. 🎣 It was much smaller in real life. 😂 https://t.co/qRFUE9Q2m5 — PolitiTweet.org

6. For Google, the hypocrisy here is stunning. It has no problem providing a platform for Communist China propaganda, & it has censored posts the regime wouldn’t like. Yet it draws a line on the comment section of a conservative publication in America. https://t.co/dQ12QVINO7 — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

5. This also appears to be an example of established media gatekeepers attempting to regain control of the political narrative - not through persuasion but coercion. A legacy media outlet lobbied Big Tech to punish a new media competitor. — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

4. Google has no problem treating The Federalist as the publisher of comments and user-generated posts on that website for purposes of Google’s own ad policy. Yet Google expends significant resources to protect its own platforms from that type of treatment under Section 230. — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

3. Not so, according to Google’s own ad policy! Google is now holding The Federalist responsible for comments and user-generated posts, and Google will be demonetizing the website as a result. — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

2. Big Tech has long argued that it needs Section 230’s unique set of liability protections because websites simply couldn’t operate if they were held liable for comments or user-generated posts. — PolitiTweet.org

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC

Google makes one of the strongest arguments yet for Section 230 reform. — PolitiTweet.org
