Big Tech - Break 'em Up, Bust 'em Up, Put 'em in Jail

CPAC DC 23

Indiana Senator Mike Braun, CEO of Truth Social Devin Nunes, and Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody sit on a panel moderated by Vice President of Free Speech America, Media Research Center, Dan Schneider at CPAC 2023. The panelists call for the busting up of big tech. The panelists’ cries are contrary to the attitude Congress has adopted toward technology companies since 1996. That attitude was one of protecting and nurturing the internet in its early stages. Nearly thirty years later, however, technology companies are no longer in their early stages and Congress needs to pivot on their approach to legislating the internet.

Technology companies are called ‘big tech’ today for a reason, precisely because they are big in size and scope. Together, Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon have a combined monetary value of $8.67 trillion. Yet, many in Washington, D.C. still insist on protecting these ‘infant’ corporations. Those on the conservative side, however, see them for what they are: monopolies and political pawns for the Left. That is why Senator Braun and his Congressional colleagues are seeking to bust up big tech and punish its violations of free speech and privacy. Nunes is taking on big tech in the private sector with an alternative media platform, Truth Social, backed by President Donald Trump. In the process, Nunes has observed the deep-seated bias and wide reach of big tech in Google and Apple’s restrictions on even app creation for the new social media site. Moody in Florida is defending in the courts state legislation that would prevent this kind of discrimination and the blatant deplatforming of conservatives online. Average Americans can do their part, too, in the fight for a fair and free online by switching to alternative, conservative companies, like Truth Social, Rumble, Tusk browser, and Old Glory Bank.
