Nothing to see here: Senate Dems unconcerned about Big Tech silencing, blacklisting conservatives

Senate Democrats want to take on Big Tech in the next Congress, but that doesn’t include tackling the censorship of conservative voices on social media.

The Democrats, who will still control the chamber in the next Congress, said there were bigger fish to fry when it comes to Big Tech or suggested Elon Musk selectively edited his “Twitter Files” that exposed the company’s orchestrated effort to silence the political right.

Sen. Brian Schatz, Hawaii Democrat, just laughed at the idea of tackling the censorship and suppression of his political rivals’ speech.

“It’s a private company,” he said with a chuckle to The Washington Times.
