Lindsey Graham Stands Up for Conservatives, Attacks Big Tech

Senator Lindsey Graham is fighting to protect conservative thought. The Senate Judiciary Committee chairman said, “There’s two threats to conservatism: mass mail-in voting unverified and social media companies unregulated, unable to be sued when they take down the content of conservatives.”

The Daily Caller reports:

Graham made the comments as he said he plans to introduce a new bill Tuesday to repeal Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, that insulates social media sites from legal action when they refuse to post material without just cause.

“Section 230 allows the big tech companies to take down content and make decisions without being sued and they’re not regulated. There’s no business that I know of in America that can’t be sued for their actions and not subject to regulation by the government at any level, except big tech,” Graham explained.

Graham insisted there is also bipartisan support for restraining big tech and said, “I’ve had Democrats come up to me and say ‘we hate these big tech companies as much as you do. They’ve abused power, they’re American companies, they’ve created technology that enriches our lives, but they’ve got more power than anybody in the history of the world in terms of information flow.’”

“They have a political bias,” Graham continued. “They’re protected from lawsuits and they’re not regulated by the government. That needs to come to an end.”

The South Carolina senator pledged to introduce legislation that would ban Section 230 on Jan. 1, 2023 giving Congress two years to replace it with a better alternative.
