Republican lawmakers hijacked a historic antitrust hearing to air conspiracy theories and accuse tech companies of secretly working to undermine Trump

Republican lawmakers used a widely-anticipated House subcommittee hearing with the world's most powerful tech CEOs to air grievances and accuse tech companies of secretly working to undermine President Donald Trump's reelection campaign.

GOP Rep. Greg Steube suggested Gmail is intentionally sending his campaign emails to users' spam folders, and Wisconsin Republican Jim Sensenbrenner asked Mark Zuckerberg — the CEO of Facebook — about Twitter's decision to temporarily suspend Donald Trump Jr.'s account this week.

During the hearing, Jordan asked Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai if he could "assure Americans" that Google wouldn't use its features to give former Vice President Joe Biden, the 2020 Democratic presidential nominee, an edge over Trump in the general election. in which Google's former head of multicultural market expressed support for increasing Latinx voter turnout.

Both sides are really the same.

Says the owner of business insider

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. How do you think the aka real estate agent CON ARTIST won in the first place? He's just getting a plate full of his own manipulation but right openly, no secret here.

Trump's foot soldiers.

Conspiracy theory?

Boy, no slant in this headline at all, Jesus Christ

That seems like a fair, non-biased headline

That’s an unbiased headline if I’ve ever heard one 😉 lots of journalisming going on...

Section 230 is all about letting private companies make their own decisions to leave up some content and take other content down. Bias is provable.

I understand how someone could mistake social media's new aversion to misinformation as anti-Trump. What could be more anti-Trump than Facebook installing BS filters?

Secretly? Hell no, they do it in the open.

I don't think it's a secret that the tech companies are waging all-out war against the President and his supporters. They seem pretty open about it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Well, it’s true. They have factual evidence

Well Big Tech has been biased towards republicans so i can understand that

The GOP has really lost it.
