Senator James Lankford slammedCPAC’s dominance by Big Tech over the Weekend
Oklahoma Senator has always been a supporter of Section 230 reforms and believes reform is crucial to protect free speech.
On the weekend, he defended this stance even more and argued that Section 230 should be reformed as Big Tech platforms like Twitter and Facebook allegedly used it for censorship.
“Big Tech companies are not the ones who get to decide what free speech is,” Lankford told the crowd at CPAC. “We need to rip & repeal legislation that allows Big Tech to subjectively censor groups they just don’t agree with that day.”
He added that Section 230 was originally created to prevent child trafficking online, but Big Tech has used it as a “shield” for censorship.
“Legislation like Section 230 was originally made to protect from child trafficking over the internet through websites like http://backpage.com, but Big Tech companies are using it as a shield to censor Americans,” he added.
He demanded that lawmakers implement reforms to level the playing field, and keep companies from shadowbanning and blocking conservatives online.
Conservatives are being attacked.
