As Congress proposes more tech-regulating bills, the head of the Internet Accountability Project said Big Tech platforms’ “unchallenged growth is a threat to the conservative movement.”
The Internet Accountability Project (IAP) aims “to lend a conservative voice to the calls for federal and state governments to rein in Big Tech before it’s too late.” Congressional regulation of Big Tech became a major issue in the second half of 2021, after The Wall Street JournalThe Facebook Files was revealed, revealing biased censorship as well as other cover-ups. Leftist activist turned Facebook “whistleblower” Frances Haugen has been touring the world to advise lawmakers.
Mike Davis, IAP founder and president, has a message for Americans: “Conservatives must stop accepting excuses from Republican leaders and demand action.”
Davis provided exclusive commentary for MRC Free Speech America. “Over the past few years, conservatives have woken up to the fact that the trillion-dollar Big Tech monopolists in Silicon Valley are not our friends. These globalists do not care about our constitutional values of free speech or free markets,” Davis said. Big Tech appears to believe it doesn’t need to be held responsible, such as Facebook recently trying to split Congress while refusing to apologize.
Davis warned, “Left unchecked, they will continue to censor conservatives, crush small businesses and stifle innovation. Their unchallenged growth is a threat to the conservative movement, the livelihoods of millions of Americans and our national security dominance in the 21st century.” He proposed a solution. “The only way to reintroduce competition into the U.S. tech marketplace is to enforce and modernize federal antitrust law. Breaking up Facebook, Apple, Google and Amazon will force them to compete for customers and users, allowing small businesses to compete on a level playing field and forcing tech companies to respect a diversity of political opinions.”
Davis ended, “Thankfully, several bipartisan bills to break up Big Tech are making their way through Congress right now. We’ve got to act soon before it’s too late. Conservatives must stop accepting excuses from Republican leaders and demand action.”
The problem of biased censorship in tech platforms continues to get worse. Tech platforms Google, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube all earned an “F” for Free Speech on MRC Free Speech America’s latest Big Tech report card. Amazon was awarded a “C” in Free Speech from the same report.
Conservatives under attack. Your representatives should be contacted to insist that Big Tech is held responsible. Tech giants must provide equal access for their users as the First Amendment allows.
