Texas Sen. Ted Cruz excoriated Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey Wednesday over his company’s flagrant censorship against conservatives.

Some background Dorsey and his company have come under fire over the past months for openly censoring conservatives and conservative topics on the platform, including labeling or removing multiple posts from President Trump and his campaign the company decided were in violation of its rules.

Dorsey has himself been quite open about his progressive viewpoints.

Back in 2018, Dorsey shared with his nearly 5 million followers on Twitter a Medium article that essentially called for the ostracizing of Republicans and their supporters because they only care “about rule by and for billionaires at the expense of working people” and not “average citizens.”

Ted is not always right, but in this case, he’s fighting the holy fight.

So after telling Dorsey off, what is Ted Cruz going to do about Dorsey?

Even if Cruz submits a bill to have Dorsey deservedly flogged (or even take away his library card), it will never get past the House.

The big tech oligarchs do not trust their own customers ability to make their own decisions. They want to MANIPULTE opinions and control everything they see and read.

Free thinking people scare them.

Nothing will be done at all about Dorsey or any of his cohorts. These Senate hearings have no power. It’s theater.

I agree? Teddy, you are correct, but please Stop Lecturing! You’re NOT going to make these people feel any guilt, shame or sense of duty. Start fining, and legislating new damn rules or nothing will ever, ever change!

........they only care “about rule by and for billionaires at the expense of working people”.........said the billionaire. In the real world, the Democrats have been the party of the billionaires for at least ten years. Even the Koch brothers do not support Trump.

Imagine the uproar if a telco censored what conservatives could say on the phone. And this essentially what Jackboot is doing. Birdshit is a communication platform and should be regulated as such

Yeah, call me when they actually change the law removing their outlandish legal protection. Until then, it’s all just a strongly worded letter with zero impact.

Ted Cruz is ten times smarter than the loser from Twitter. The loser from Twitter is clueless about power. When the 2009 Green Rioters were using Twitter in Tehran, the loser from Twitter was blamed for not understanding the value of Twitter.

American Tech Oligarchs are not much different than the Russian Oligarchs or Chicom Oligarchs. They are so far deep in greed,corruption and pure societal control for their agendas. Their money has crippled and corrupted American politics.
