Date Title
10/14/2022 Tweet - "The Republican Commitment to rein in Big Tech: ✓ Provide greater privacy and data security protections for Americans ✓ Equip parents with more tools to keep their kids safe online ✓ Stop companies from putting politics ahead of people"
07/21/2022 Tweet - "Facebook uses a for-profit org called "NewsGuard" to decide what political content is allowed on its site. But NewsGuard isn't objective and is now targeting Fox News. See what's happening? Liberal media and Big Tech are still teaming up to silence voices they don't like."
07/02/2022 Tweet - "House Republicans have made almost 100 requests for info relating to Biden family schemes⁠--and now some answers are becoming clear. A Republican majority will be committed to uncovering the facts the Democrats, Big Tech and legacy media have suppressed."
06/22/2022 Tweet - "@RepDLesko and I just introduced a bill to stop Big Tech's biased algorithms. Gmail sends 70% of GOP candidate emails to spam, compared to 10% from Dems. Time to fight back against Big Tech's discriminatory infiltration into our political discourse."
01/25/2022 Tweet - "Caught up with @RubinReport in his new home state of Florida for a quick chat on the future of free speech & @rumblevideo . I joined Rumble because it's a place where free expression matters. In an era of mass censorship, a free & open internet has never been more essential."
10/25/2021 Tweet - "The Facebook Papers reports illustrate that Big Tech and Legacy Media companies are not just hysterically anti-conservative--they are against any idea that doesn't fit their narrative."
07/17/2021 Tweet - "If something is free on the Internet...YOU are the product. Since WE are the product for Big Tech, we should have a lot more control over our own data. It should be easier to see, move, and delete."
07/16/2021 Tweet - "President Biden's White House is teaming up with Big Tech to censor speech. It's wrong & contrary to your 1st Amendment rights. The American people deserve to know--how much are taxpayers paying for Biden to monitor their personal social media accounts & suppress their voices?"
07/15/2021 Tweet - "The Biden Administration just announced they are working with Facebook to censor more Americans. Big Tech and Big Government want the same thing (special character) to control you. As a reminder, America is a land of FREEDOM."
07/07/2021 Tweet - "House Republicans are leading the charge against out-of-control Big Tech. That's why we submitted these video questions to the FTC. Given proposals to give the FTC more power, they should explain how they'd use that to stop #BigTech censorship & bias against conservatives."
07/03/2021 Tweet - "Remember when President Biden gave Putin a list of things that were supposed to be off-limits for cyber attacks? What he SHOULD have said is that ALL American targets are off-limits. Biden is soft on crime and weak against Putin."
07/02/2021 Tweet - "Facebook is back at it--targeting conservatives, this time with warnings of "extremism." If they want to control what users think and say, then they should be treated as a publisher, not a platform. Need to reform #Section230 protections for Big Tech!"
06/29/2021 Tweet - "Big Tech behemoths were once the gold standard of entrepreneurism and innovation. They took on incumbents, created new services, and transformed what our economy looks like today. But their idea of competition is now corrupted, and it's past time to rein in Big Tech."
06/27/2021 Tweet - "The Dem plan for Big Tech ignores conservative censorship--and makes it even worse. They want to empower a federal bureaucracy with no accountability. Conservatives and our ideas have been targeted for too long. It's time for Big Tech to face the music."
06/09/2021 Tweet - "Once again, President Biden is rewarding our adversaries. He failed to stop Putin's Nord Stream 2 Pipeline, and today he reversed a ban on apps owned by companies beholden to the Chinese Communist Party. His policies make America weaker and less safe."
06/04/2021 Tweet - "They fueled lies of Russian collusion. They targeted and censored his followers. And now they're blocking him for another 2 years. If they're willing to do all that to a former President of the United States, what do you think Big Tech has in store for conservatives like you?"
05/24/2021 Tweet - "Thought-provoking policy idea at a time when Big Tech is in need of some disruption."
05/22/2021 Tweet - "Democrats' infrastructure proposal is just another $2-trillion progressive wishlist. The Republican plan has real solutions for real infrastructure, with major investments in roads, bridges, water, and broadband--in total, an investment of $460 billion."
05/21/2021 Tweet - "Biden's "infrastructure" plan includes giving the IRS power to spy on your bank account to track every dime you make & every dollar you spend. This is the same IRS that targeted conservatives last time Biden was in the White House. Does that sound like infrastructure to you?"
03/25/2021 Tweet - "California's restrictive, overreaching net neutrality law should serve as an example to the rest of the country that government overregulation of internet service providers has consequences, and California's most vulnerable veterans are paying the price."
10/28/2020 Tweet - "Media that declares a winner of the presidential election before polling centers close will unquestionably disenfranchise Americans who have not yet voted. I wrote a letter to the heads of major news orgs to request patience in calling a winner until all polling centers close."
10/25/2020 Tweet - "Big Tech is blatantly trying to suppress free speech and prop up Joe Biden's campaign. Now is the time to scrap their Section 230 protections and start over."
10/18/2020 Tweet - "Free speech is being challenged by Big Tech companies that give preference to one point of view but suppress another. Republicans will always fight to uphold free speech as provided in our Constitution!"
10/17/2020 Tweet - "Big Tech is not even pretending like they aren't helping Joe Biden. It's time to scrap their #Section230 protections so they can't censor conservatives any longer."
10/15/2020 Tweet - "Companies like Facebook and Twitter have special protections in something called #Section230. But Big Tech is abusing those protections and choosing to censor Americans with different political views. It is time to #Scrap230 and start over."
