Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) said on Sunday that Big Tech’s recent actions, with Apple suspending Parler and the removal of the accounts of President Donald Trump and other conservatives from their platforms, show the tech giants do not want Americans to have a dialogue with one other.
“This has moved from ‘Hey, I don’t like a few things, so I’m going to knock it out,’ to ‘I don’t like you at all,’ or ‘I don’t like your opinion,’ or ‘I don’t like anyone on that side.’” Lankford told Judge Jeanine Pirro on Fox on Sunday. “I have often said that the way Twitter and Facebook are going, there will be a rise of a conservative social media and liberal social media.”
