Author and former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson joined Fox Business to sound the alarm on the amount of power that Big Tech wields over the flow of information.
Berenson slammed Big Tech companies like Facebook for wanting it “both ways.” Specifically, if Big Tech companies were utilities, they would not be held liable for “every bit of speech” across their platforms, but at the same time that would mean they “can’t censor anything,” Berenson said. Regarding opinions and factually inaccurate information, Berenson asked on the March 25 edition of Mornings with Maria: “Do we want these companies in the business of deciding what’s factually accurate, what isn’t? Do we want them fact-checking, which Facebook increasingly does?” He continued: “Do we want [Big Tech] — you know — destroying large groups that come together for causes that some people may not like, or many people may not like? I think that’s a really bad idea.”
Berenson said that the Big Tech behemoths needed to decide: “Are they publishers, where they’re responsible for everything, or are they utilities where essentially they’re not responsible for anything, unless it’s clearly illegal?”

The Dems are calling for even more censorship by big tech, with fines and anti-monopoly moves if they don’t censor in favor of the Democrats and the left.
But weren’t we told by Comrade biden that they prefer truth over facts?
Fascism When I want your opinion, I’ll give it to you.
It is really disturbing when all ‘news’ channels parrot events.
Now the question becomes: Who initiated the separation? 8>)
Dear Winston,
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
