Before @ElonMusk bought Twitter, the Biden White House (illegally) outsourced its censorship to Big Tech.

Now, the Biden White House is (illegally) insourcing its censorship at @DHSgov, in its new #MinistryOfTruth.

.@elonmusk’s a great man.

But Twitter could revert back to its old ways, if he sells.

We can’t have our free-speech rights dependent on a benevolent billionaire.

We must:

1. Upgrade our antitrust laws; end Big Tech’s antitrust amnesty

2. Reform or repeal Section 230 immunity

We have a 3-month window of opportunity to pass meaningful bipartisan legislation to rein in Big Tech, before the midterms heat up.

Key House Republicans talk a big game.

But they won’t actually do anything when they get power.

@RepKenBuck-@ChuckGrassley legislation is key.

Market Caps:

Apple $2,780,000,000,000

Google $1,722,000,000,000

Amazon $1,590,000,000,000

Twitter $38,000,000,000

The 1st three colluded to kill Parler, a startup competitor to Twitter.

Twitter = menace

Google, Apple, Amazon = real gatekeepers/problems

We won’t have real, lasting free speech online until we end Big Tech’s antitrust amnesty.

It’s much less likely Twitter would censor us if it had to compete for us.

The online gatekeepers—Google, Apple, Amazon, Facebook—ensure that doesn’t happen.

Look what they did to Parler.
