In reality, this is a great gift. NOW, *any* big tech censorship can be accurately described as action on behalf of the Federal Government and the First Amendment applies!!

Government regulation of social media is not optimal, as Obama would say. But Big Tech has abused its power to such an extent that this announcement was inevitable. We just couldn't let the Wild West of the Internet be, could we? And by "we," I mostly mean Big Tech.
I intend to move forward with an @FCC rulemaking to clarify the meaning of #Section230. Read my full statement below.

Four years ago BuzzFeed posted the Steele Dossier, filled with lies and misinformation, and twitter and Facebook happily spread their fake news. Now these platforms are blocking transmission of a New York Post story critical of a Democrat. The hypocrisy is not sustainable.

Dear Twitter and Facebook: Maybe you should ease up on the censorship just a little bit. People get restless when you're too obvious about controlling what they see and hear, you know what I mean? Love, Kim Jong-un

Hearing Dems criticize Big Tech for "picking winners and losers" in the marketplace is a little surreal. Congressional Dems support using gov't to pick winners and losers in energy policy; still want FB to pick liberals as "winners" in speech over conservatives. #TechHearings
All scientific advancement will now depend on if social media overlords like the people who promote it.

Let’s hope that @realDonaldTrump will actually come through with an executive order that will prompt @YouTube to stop the ShadowBanning! 💪🏻

I love the @InTheTankPod. Alinsky's ghost does not.
One of our best@inthetankpod, and most fun. Especially the "pre-show" chat with @justinthaskins about cats. @thefrackingguy -> In The Tank (Ep238) – Bernie Drops Out! Good Coronavirus News? youtu.be/5SQKkh5kCd0 via @YouTube
Good on Yang for proposing the only solution to curbing big tech that empowers people, not government. You own your data and deserve to profit from it. #DemocraticDebate #DemDebate

I oppose any proposal for the federal government to build and operate a nationwide 5G network. The market, not the government, is best positioned to drive innovation and investment. go.usa.gov/xnGES
Put the govt in charge of technology, and we'd be moving backwards to a 3G world. teapawt.net/axios/status/957746156…
