The only point -- and I mean the only point -- of this entire billionaire-funded anti-Facebook campaign is to transfer the power over internet speech from social media companies to Democratic Party politicians. They have said this explicitly many times!

In March, I reported on the five-hour hearing House Dems held, where they had summoned Twitter, Facebook and Google for the 4th time in a year. One after the next, they delivered one point: if you don't censor more content we dislike, we will punish you with laws and regulations.

Here is the article I wrote after watching the entire hearing.

One Dem Congresswoman, @RepFletcher, actually argued the Biden Admin give tech companies a list of "domestic terror groups" they should ban. See the video embedded. It shocked even the CEOs:

What more can Democrats do than this to make clear to you that their only goal is that they want *more* political speech that they dislike censored by social media giants, and that failure to comply will result in legal and regulatory reprisals??

FB and Google -- and Apple and Amazon -- are genuine societal menaces. Their monopolistic power has been documented in a report by the House Antitrust Committee with bipartisan support.

But this craze to commandeer their censorship power is obscuring those legitimate issues.

One last time: this "whistleblower"and her patrons -- all liberal billionaires and Democratic Party operatives -- are *not trying to weaken Facebook.*

They are trying to preserve Facebook's power but commandeer it for themselves to control online speech:
