“I and many, many others, are concerned about the pattern [Big Tech] have demonstrated of anti-conservative bias and censorship. Of silencing views with which they disagree and promoting Left wing views with which they agree. That is profoundly dangerous as more and more of our political discourse goes through [digital platforms].”
“Many in our state have experienced censorship and other tyrannical behavior firsthand in Cuba and Venezuela. If Big Tech censors enforce rules inconsistently, to discriminate in favor of the dominant Silicon Valley ideology, they will now be held accountable.”
“[censorship] sets a precedent where the people that are in power can decide that something is ‘wrong speak,’ something is bad and that you can just eliminate it completely [... And then when things like that happen, they keep going. They don’t just stop at things that we can all agree are terrible. They go to things that maybe you don’t think are terrible, but other people do. And then they keep going further.”
