Big tech's insidious methods for advancing liberal agendas and quashing conservatives has to be investigated and regulated....they may need to be broken up.

It can't happen soon enough..there is a RICO case here and that's all it would take for the DOJ to put that nice "This domain has been seized by the US Govt" message on all of them.

I can't wait. I hope they all get shut down.

So Republicans want to bring back the Fairness Doctrine. This should get interesting.

The same party that loves Fox News will welcome when Fox has to air liberal views? The same seniors that want liberals to pay for their Medicare will be happy when those companies stop paying taxes because they have no revenue.

Can’t wait to see Breitbart forced to promote single payer. So many things could result from this, the unintended consequences will be entertaining.

All because Trump needs a foil and he’s decided his supporters will never be smart enough to work in tech so tech will do.

Wonder what Trump will demonize next? The color blue?

Rupert Murdoch owns several news stations and newspapers, all of which drive a right wing message. Let’s break up Rupert Murdoch’s business and bring back the Fairness Doctrine. See how Trump supporters like that.

Republicans are right-wing authoritarians first and foremost. Small government means cutting social safety nets. Government cannot be too big when it comes to policing the culture and controlling everyone's sex lives and vices and forcing religion on everyone.

I'm betting if we dig deep enough you're a hypocrite. No offense, it's just that all Statists are.

Each individual owns their mind and body...subsequently they own the fruits of their labor when they engage their mind & body in activity.

A baker should have the right to refuse to bake a cake for whatever reason just like tech companies should be able to ban anyone on their platform.

If they can't do that, you've confiscated their labor at gunpoint. That is slavery and unacceptable.

Democrats are left-wing authoritarians first and foremost. Big government means expanding inefficient programs that could be done by the private sector. Government cannot be too big when it comes to policing the culture and controlling everyone's sugar intake and plastic bag usage and forcing religious people to do things against their wishes.

Since you nailed the Republicans (and you really did) I wanted to finish it up for you for the sake of clarity.

You're welcome.

Fox News already airs liberal views.
