Big Tech v. America: How to Fight Back and Win

This article was originally published at American Spectator on January 15, 2021.

We can stop pretending Facebook, Twitter, Google, Apple, and Amazon aren’t out to get half the country, and start doing something about it.

If we’re going to be objective about it, we’ve got to give the Mark Zuckerbergs, Jeff Bezoses and Jack Dorseys of the world their due — the apps they’ve created are some of the greatest technological marvels in history.

It’s too bad that the purveyors of the technologies Apple, Facebook, Google, Twitter, and Amazon have on offer are such profoundly myopic, evil bastards. And the events of the past week make it pretty clear that these companies are literally out to get conservative America.
