Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) has called out Big Tech for abuses of power, singling out Google as the “greatest threat to speech in the market.” The congressman has introduced a bill in the House that would attempt to limit the economic and political sway of several tech giants.
Speaking to the Heritage Foundation on Jan. 11, Buck railed against what he sees as unfair business practices. The congressman recalled the story of Parler, the pro-free speech social media startup that faced numerous hurdles from competitors and pressure from U.S. officials in 2021.
