Big Tech’s banning and deplatforming of users is alarming some Florida citizens.
Silencing former President Donald Trump and other conservatives are monopolistic acts that are taking place without intervention by the Biden administration, according to a letter published in chronicleonline.com.
Steven Garrison appealed to Gov. Ron DeSantis to crack down on Big Tech censorship by disallowing the state from investing in any of these companies.
“I am urging you to support legislation that would prohibit Florida state government from investing any state-controlled monies in companies that are effectively silencing President Trump and conservatives,” Garrison wrote. “These companies would include Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, and any other company that hinders the ability of law-abiding Florida citizens from communicating in a free and open forum without fear of retaliation or censure.”
According to Garrison, silencing then-president Trump has caused great fear and it is not a way to unite Florida and the country.
“Their monopolistic actions are leaving all conservatives without a viable way to communicate with President Trump as well as with each other,” Garrison added.
Trump’s social media accounts were banned following the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Some accounts of conservatives were also subsequently censored.
Parler, the alternative social network popular with conservatives was taken offline by Amazon, Google, and Apple.
