EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Josh Hawley is warning that Big Tech companies are working to “transform America,” arguing in his new book that mega-corporations are the “gravest threat” to liberty in decades.

The book, which is expected to hit the shelves May 4, was initially set to be published by Simon & Schuster. But after the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, the company dropped Hawley as a client after he and other Republicans objected to certifying Electoral College votes in certain battleground states in the 2020 presidential election.

"This is a book that corporate leftists don’t want anybody to read, and for good reason," Hawley told Fox News."This is all about how big tech and mega corporations are working hand-in-hand with big government to try to run our country, silence our speech, and take over our government." Hawley, who has been vocal against Big Tech and social media giants since taking office, warned that they are"so ubiquitous, so powerful, they are more powerful by the day.

"This is really about information control," Hawley said."These companies want to do all of that, and they have the power to do all of that, increasingly, and we need to do something about it." "One company should not be allowed to have all of these different platforms," Hawley continued, pointing to Amazon and their ownership of Amazon Web Services, which he described as a"huge cloud computing system."

For example, the legislation would ban Amazon from being able to sell Amazon-branded products on Amazon Marketplace, where its competitors also do business. The bill would also ban Amazon from simultaneously owning a large amount of the cloud computing services that many online companies use and continuing to run its ubiquitous retail business.

"I think if social media were truly social media, if it were really about communicating with each other, forming friend groups—think about Facebook before it introduced the newsfeed and algorithms that try to determine what we see and what we do, try to push advertising at us based on our behavior—before that, I think there could be a great benefit to having social media," Hawley explained.
