Senator Mitt Romney argues that government should use Big Tech to censor Amerikans!

WASHINGTON (PNN) - July 27, 2023 - During a Senate hearing Wednesday, Senator Mitt Romney (Utah) argued against an amendment proposed by Senator Rand Paul (Kent.) to make it illegal for government to use social media and Big Tech companies to censor the views of Amerikans.

Paul put forth the case that “the First Amendment really isn’t about protecting the speech of government workers; the First Amendment says Congress shall make no law restricting free speech. It’s about limitations on government involvement with speech.”

Paul continued, “If Twitter says bad things about me and puts up bad things and takes me down I have no recourse against Twitter, same with Facebook. I’m mad, I hate that YouTube has taken my speeches down; I don’t do business with them anymore because I think they’re bigoted, biased and wrong-headed on this.”

“As far as threats, what we do know from the Twitter files is that the government was making threats,” Paul continued, “there were threats of Anti-Trust action against companies if they didn’t take the material down, there were also threats of we will remove your 230 protection. Section 230 gives them liability protection and there were overt threats and threats in writing basically saying if you don’t take this down you know your 230 protection of liability could go away.”

“I think the government should be absolutely prohibited from doing this without question. I think it should be as Draconian as you probably can make it,” Paul continued, adding, “things that are an opinion, the government has no business in this.”

In total disregard of and disrespect for the Constitution, Romney claims that individuals within the government should have the right to stop social media companies or legacy media companies from putting out content that (he considers to be) “wrong”.

Romney stated, “To say that no employee of the government from the president on down to the millions of people who work in the government can speak with a social media company or a Legacy Media Company and express (his or her) point of view that an article is wrong or that the Avenue they’re going down is wrong, that would shut off free speech.”

The debate comes on the heels of a federal judge issuing a recent injunction to put a stop to the illegitimate fascist pretender Joe Biden regime acting like an “Orwellian Ministry Of Truth” by colluding with Big Tech to censor opinions it doesn’t like, much to the dislike of establishment media.
