CONGRESS:  STOP GOOGLE, TWITTER, FACEBOOK, APPLE NOW. NEW LAWS NEEDED, USE ANTI-TRUST TO BUST THESE GUYS UP.

THE  KUHNS REPORT

LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

Here we go again. Tech giants like Twitter, Google, Facebook,etc., are continually blocking or removing various individuals and companies from their platforms. It is very clear that these tech titans are  very liberal in their beliefs and attitudes and favor any liberal views but remove conservative views. using their speech police who arbitrarily pick and choose what is free speech.

Folks, we do not need some little nerd sitting in front of a computer screen deciding what is and what is not "free speech." EVERY American has the right to speak out freely and say what they want and to express those views. I say there are two sides to every issue and BOTH side should be heard. The two sides of any issue can be debated as to its merits. But for some dopey idiot at one of these tech platforms to interject and say: "I don't agree with that view, so I am going to remove the  item and silence you. That's WRONG!

When  these tech companies started up and went before Congress  they said that the Internet and their platforms were going to let everyone speak freely and express diverse opinions and views, etc., so Congress gave these  giants a "carve out" in the laws and regulations against liability.  Ever since then the companies have enjoyed a shield  against lawsuits. They told the Congress they are not like a publishing firm, a newspaper or television station and said they don't give opinions on the speech that is posted on their platforms. What a lie that is -- Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc., continue to  give opinions and gage  the speech  that is posted by anyone.

Folks, these tech mega firms are acting no different that any newspaper, publisher, or television station. Fact is, they act even more more aggressive and try to tell you what you should think, say, and do.  And their attitude is that if you do not bend to their thinking they will erase you from their social media platforms. So, these companies should be subject to the same laws, rules and regulations that any other publisher, newspaper, or television network is subject to, and that includes being under the same liability protocol all other publishers have to contend with.


Further, I personally believe that "anyone" should be able to post their views on these platforms, whether they are Democrats, Republicans, Independents, whether they are Christians, Muslims, Jews, or Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, --whatever.  Then, if anyone person or group disagrees with a posting, that person or group can easily post their counter argument or view on that specific issue. The result, everyone gets  their view heard on the issue.

Congress should reign in Google, Twitter, Facebook and others, possibly by using Section 230  of the Communications Decency Act of 1996, as well as any other pertinent laws, rules and regulations. The tech giants should be subject to strict "anti-Trust Laws."Better yet. if it were up to me I would say, BUST THESE COMPANIES UP, just  like was done with the telephone companies years ago. Remember when  telephone giant AT and T ruled communications  and held all communication in America hostage for decades. Well, after the telephone companies  bust up, it afforded competition for others to step in and offer services. It worked out well.

Google, Twitter, Facebook, Apple and  all other platforms offering Internet service should allow each and every person to say  and offer their opinions and views on any and all issues  "freely" without any interference whatsoever and let the public viewing  all of the diverse posts make up their own mind as to what they want to read , think and say about what they are reading or viewing,

 I suggest CONGRESS take a stand and act against these tech mega-giants so as  to insure that ANY AND ALL posts are allowed to be viewed by anyone that wants to read or comment on an issue.

Folks, we have to insist that Congress act and we have to put the lawmakers feet to the fire and tell theses same Congresspeople to STOP taking large amounts of money disguised as  "donations," ( I submit it is bribery), from these tech companies who has been allowing these techies to commit the wrongdoing they have been committing against individuals and companies for years.

FAIR IS FAIR. The Internet should be an open forum for any person, corporation, or business, no matter their political  leanings. Period. - And, that's my opinion. I suggest you look and consider the situation and come to your own conclusions. You decide.
