That doesn’t exist with today’s tech monopolists. Restoring competition would lead to different policies across platforms, with people gravitating towards the platform that allowed the most information while maintaining protections against abusive content. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ken Buck @RepKenBuck

A further example: when there’s a story that the government doesn’t want published because of national security, media companies have a business incentive to break the news. There’s a tension between the government’s (sometimes) well-founded interest and market competition. https://t.co/COs13RC8RL — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ken Buck @RepKenBuck

Antitrust fixes the problem by creating a business incentive for people NOT to censor. Just like Fox competes with the New York Times or CNN. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ken Buck @RepKenBuck

Fortunately, we have the solution and the coalition to stop this behavior—antitrust. The House just passed three bills on a bipartisan margin three weeks ago, and we’ve got the votes in the Senate to advance. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ken Buck @RepKenBuck

There’s going to be a lot of sound and fury from Republicans, but action is what’s necessary. Not mean letters, or nasty hearings. You need to be able to produce a legislative coalition that can get something signed into law that will stop them from doing this stuff. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ken Buck @RepKenBuck

And, as they pivot to yet another fraudulent argument--“don’t give the government more power to leverage the tech giants,” --please remember that Big Tech actors were EAGER to collaborate with the government. No “leverage” necessary. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ken Buck @RepKenBuck

By the way, don’t listen to bull from fake conservative tech shills about how shocked they are—we had a pretty good idea this was happening before, just not at this scale, with this proof. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ken Buck @RepKenBuck

We have the right to change government policy as elected officials, particularly when it’s hurting a core right, we enjoy as citizens of the American Republic. — PolitiTweet.org

Parler showed that the current market conditions of collusive monopolies are no solution to Big Tech. The Intercept’s reporting means that the union between these companies and the government is basically complete. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ken Buck @RepKenBuck

A monopoly on information in a democracy is a monopoly on power, and a monopoly on information for the ruling party means one-party control. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ken Buck @RepKenBuck

We learned from this reporting that Biden officials collaborated with Big Tech corporate officials, including the-recently-fired-from-Twitter Vijaya Gadde, to devise and implement a comprehensive censorship regime. https://t.co/ms8zyvGuqa — PolitiTweet.org

BIDEN BIG TECH CENSORSHIP THREAD: Big Tech colluding to destroy Parler in 2021 was a pivotal moment for the tech debate. Yesterday’s revelations in @theintercept about Big Government colluding with Big Tech to destroy free speech is another. https://t.co/qMA3Y2FliC — PolitiTweet.org

I also read in @TheAtlantic that speech-delayed children may never learn to speak because of mandatory masking. I’ll bet they want “amnesty.” https://t.co/dwAuSCIlay — PolitiTweet.org

Ronald Reagan said it best: “We are committed to a society in which all men and women have equal opportunities to succeed, and so we oppose the use of quotas.” It’s time to end the discriminatory practices of affirmative action. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ken Buck @RepKenBuck

This is the ugly logic of censorship. Once one type of speech becomes “dangerous,” the rest soon follows. https://t.co/G19s31fpp0 — PolitiTweet.org

Fundamentally, Musk’s firing of Twitter’s leadership is being celebrated because they wielded their power to police a core part of America’s democratic discourse (essentially a government function) despotically and arbitrarily. — PolitiTweet.org

What happened to Paul Pelosi is absolutely unacceptable. Violence has no place in our democracy. A nation of laws settles debates with words. — PolitiTweet.org
