Finally, someone is saying it out loud.
A very few have immense, almost incomprehensible, power. They control the flow of information. They controls what you can see and don’t see. We did not give these unelected radicals the power to abridge our unalienable freedoms.
The US government used anti-trust laws to break up monopolies. They must break up these monsters. We were the first to sue the social media giants for our First Amendment rights. In light of that fight, I began to focus AFDI activism to pursue anti-trust laws be used to break up social monopolies and duopolies. Section 2 of the Sherman Act highlights particular results deemed anti-competitive by nature and prohibits actions that “shall monopolize, or attempt to monopolize, or combine or conspire with any other person or persons, to monopolize any part of the trade or commerce among the several States, or with foreign nations.” Couldn’t the same be applied to information? The United States government took down Standard Oil, Alcoa, Northern Securities, the American Tobacco Company, ATTR and many others and they didn’t have a fraction of the monopolistic power that Apple, Google, Facebook have.

Freedom of speech is the foundation of a free society. Without it, these leftist tyrants can and are wreaking havoc unopposed, while we are silenced. I have written extensively on this here.
Pamela Geller, American Thinker: Urgent Case for Legislation against Facebook and Google
VIDEO: Governor Calls on Congress to Consider Antitrust Action Against Apple
By Laurie McClain, Breitbart:November 30, 2022
Tuesday on FNC’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) reacted to the possibility of Apple removing Twitter from its App Store while limiting the ability of Chinese protesters to use AirDrop as a means of communicating.
“While existing as an American — supposedly American company using our copyright protections, our rule of law to their own advantage, they are benefiting from America, but working against our most basic value, which is free speech,” Carlson said. “What can be done about that?”
“Well, Tucker, in the states, you know, we did Big Tech censorship bill two years ago,” DeSantis replied. “It has gotten caught up in the Courts. I think the U.S. Supreme Court is going to accept that case for this term. Texas has a similar case. There is a conflict in the circuits. And so whatever the States can do to protect people’s rights to engage in free expression, and you know what, some of these companies do, they get a lot of benefits from the government, as you said, pat and things like that, the social media companies get liability protection, and yet they turn around, and they use that protection to marginalize voices they disagree with.”
DeSantis added, “So I think from the congressional perspective, though, they need to look at antitrust with these massive companies because they are exercising massive amounts of power over our society.”
