“What began as a group of upstart companies from the west coast has since transformed into an industry of monopoly communications platforms that monitor, influence, and control the flow of information in our country and among our citizens, and they do this to an extent hitherto unimaginable,” said DeSantis.
“These platforms have changed from neutral platforms that provided Americans with the freedom to speak to enforcers of preferred narratives. Consequently, these platforms have played an increasingly decisive role in elections, and have negatively impacted Americans who dissent from orthodoxies favored by the Big Tech cartel.”
DeSantis accused the tech giants of “clear viewpoint discrimination,” highlighting the censorship of Donald Trump and the removal of Parler from the internet and Apple and Google-controlled app stores.
“The core issue here is this: are consumers going to have the choice to consume the information they choose, or are oligarchs in Silicon Valley going to make those choices for us? No group of people should exercise such power, especially not tech billionaires in Northern California.”
THIS IS WHAT TRUMP SHOULD HAVE DONE IN 2016!!!
Trump remaining on twatter and fuckbook only enriched and empowered his enemies.
If Trump had opened his own official WH site, millions would have followed.
Catastrophic unforced error.
And would have been deplatformed like Gab, because he'd need google or amazon strength servers for that. Oh, and forget "official", because anything involving the office of the president has to be done by government contractors, funded, and operated by the same people who back stabbed him so many times. That's why he used non-official accounts to communicate, and not the official WH accounts. He couldn't have known how psychotic the tech companies were going to get, during the election.
You guys expect too much out of Trump a lot of the time. He spent so much of his time fending off fake impeachments and a hostile press, when would he have had time to build out a website?
Big Tech was open about its intentions as far back as before Trump was inaugurated. The biggest failure of Trump’s 1st term was not taking action to break up the monopolies or at least regulate them. So many in Congress are bought off it would be tough, but if he used his political capital for that instead of repealing Obamacare for traitor Ryan it could have happened.
