I checked his twitter and found this comment:

“I’m glad to see Attorney General Barr taking action to roll back Section 230 immunity.

Google — along with every other big tech company — shouldn’t be allowed to get away with content filtering or censorship.

Section 230 must be repealed”

McConnell he doesn’t see a problem. He shuts off his Youtube comments and likely never reads anyone’s letter to him.

From Wikipedia.....

Big Brother is a fictional character and symbol in George Orwell’s dystopian 1949 novel Nineteen Eighty-Four.

He is ostensibly the leader of Oceania, a totalitarian state wherein the ruling party Ingsoc wields total power “for its own sake” over the inhabitants. In the society that Orwell describes, every citizen is under constant surveillance by the authorities, mainly by telescreens (with the exception of the Proles). The people are constantly reminded of this by the slogan “Big Brother is watching you”: a maxim that is ubiquitously on display.

In modern culture, the term “Big Brother” has entered the lexicon as a synonym for abuse of government power, particularly in respect to civil liberties, often specifically related to mass surveillance.

________________________________________________________________________________

Fast forward from 1984 to 2020.

Big Brother is still here. Only now the State has oursourced his role to Big Media and Social Media.

Simple, Google, Facebook, Twitter are all deeply in bed with the government, and most likely a covert part of government spying programs.

They all want to keep India Great Again.

Time to treat big tech as foreign companies, as much of their workforce is overseas (India and Communist China) and they import much of their American workforce from overseas.

Mike Lee and his Utah Supreme Court brother helped derail efforts to bring slam dunk bribery charges against his good buddy Harry Reid in Utah.

Yes, I know this first hand.

Harry Reid is from Nevada. Why would he face bribery charges in Utah?

The Republican House and Senate campaign slogan: “Vote for us because we are worthless.”

They’re in bed with the Democrats.

You could fit the ones that side with the citizens in one small bus.

Why Won’t Republicans Investigate Big Tech Monopolies?

The same reason they won't do anything else -- they're afraid of the retaliation.

Republicans don't have the courage of their convictions. They shy away from fights.

They are more afraid of losing than they care about winning.

The same reason most republicans love an excess of work immigration visas even when the economy is slow. They get paid by business to vote that way
