The Daily Wire’s Ryan Saavedra has more:
“In the last two days, we have seen a remarkable development,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said. “We have seen big tech, we’ve seen Twitter and Facebook actively interfering in this election in a way that has no precedent in the history of our country. Yesterday, the New York Post broke a story alleging serious corruption of Joe Biden and Hunter Biden concerning Ukraine. The allegations in the New York Post story, if true, indicate that Vice President Biden lied when he said that he had never discussed his son’s business dealings.”

“That story, once the New York Post broke it, was blocked by Twitter and Facebook,” Cruz continued. “Anyone who attempted to share was prevented from sharing it on Twitter and Facebook. The New York Post itself, when it attempted to put out its story, was blocked on Twitter and Facebook. The New York Post has the fourth-largest circulation of any newspaper in this country.”
“Never before have we seen active censorship of a major press publication with serious allegations of corruption of one of the two candidates for president. That was last night,” Cruz continued. “This morning the story escalated and got even worse. The New York Post broke a second story of a series of emails that indicate yet more corruption; in this instance, the Biden family receiving millions of dollars from communist China government officials.”
“Just minutes ago, I tried to share that story on Twitter and Twitter is actively blocking, right now this instant, stories from The New York Post alleging corruption and the Biden family receiving millions of dollars from communist China,” Cruz continued. “This is election interference and we are 19 days out from an election. It has no precedent in history of democracy. The Senate Judiciary Committee wants to know what the hell is going on. Chairman Lindsey Graham and I have discussed this at length and the Committee today will be noticing a mark-up on Tuesday to issue a subpoena to Jack Dorsey, the CEO of Twitter, to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee next Friday, to come before this Committee and the American people and explain why Twitter is abusing their corporate power to silence the press and to cover up allegations of corruption.”

Support Senator Lindsey Graham!
I guess someone forgot to tell the kid that what he just did is against election laws. I work in IT and the justice dept should throw the book and twitter and facebook CEO’S in prison. Their platform has become just another news outlet(cnn, msnbc, cbs, abc)for the DEMOCRAT PARTY. This is not what the internet is for, not propaganda from the DNC
They are publishers not a platform. Remove all protections
Thank you for N E W S. Keep up the informative, good work.
This is exactly what a free press is about. The Twitter/Facebook censorship is totally unnecessary and totalitarianism. They have to recognize that the mainstream media has the right to publish almost anything.
Excellent
Why wait? Do it today before they get a week to come up with excuses and to suppress the story!!
Private money going to govt officials:

Remember, many of these tech companies have gotten or are getting tax incentives and subsidies in order to start up or continue to grow. Those tax subsidies were at the cost to all Americans, not just Leftist Americans. Therefore, they should not be allowed to censor. They are also acting like the press and should not be allowed to censor. The internet itself, was created with tax-payer dollars and they are using that medium to suppress voices and hide corruption, which makes them accomplices to the corruption. The tech companies get federal, state and local tax incentives and subsidies: Amazon, which owns WAPO, was allowed to sell goods with no sales tax, for years, to compete with brick and mortar and they put brick and mortar out of business. They also get incentives and subsidies to build warehouses and headquarters and they own media outlets; the major networks are owned by the studios and those studios receive a lot of tax incentives to keep their productions in The United States and locales within. Other tech companies like Google and Facebook have been given subsidies at our expense. While I’m on the subject, the major sports leagues take taxpayer money to build stadiums and infrastructure around those stadiums and they have the audacity to play politics and offend many of the citizens that provided those subsidies. Ted Cruz, it’s time that you went after all of these companies on those grounds!
Time to take away their protections against being sued just as we do with the main steam media. They have shown to be advocates for the Democratic and progressive party rather than a free speech platform through their censoring of legitimate and newsworthy posts as chartered.
Both Face Book, Twitter and the media must finally be held accountable for what America has been suspecting for a long time. Expose them and DO NOT go easy.
If you don’t think a liberal ideology is a mental disorder then just look at Twitter and FaceBook literally destroying their own businesses in order to stay true to their liberal allegiances, no one would make these decisions like this for their businesses under any normal circumstances.
Look at the NBA, the lost 51% of their audience for this years basketball finals and how much of that is attributable to BLM signs all over the arena, the ridiculous woke catchphrases on their jerseys, the kneeling, and the presence of LeBron James who has single-handedly made watching basketball an arduous activity as he complains about racism in this country that has brought his net worth close to $1billionwhile defending China who literally has slavery and concentration camps in their country.
These people are unhinged from reality and somehow don’t see it themselves. Liberalism is a mental disorder that is leading these people to destroy their own businesses and ultimately will lead to their demise.
BItghe Twatter and Farce Book need to be shut down do to their Liberal policies and shutting down ALL conservative speech
No one should have the power over the people to interfere with Free Speech. I believe we should give that power back to the people. First off Facebook & Twitter should be considered a Monopoly of sorts and should be given in small parts to the people. A through investigation should be done and the USA should sue them for taking away our Nations Freedom of Speech.
Who are these guys but a couple of little boys trying to play God. Sorry boys but the position has been filled!!!
Exactly what we have been thinking that Dorsey and Zuckerberg are involved in Election interference and that is against the law. These Tech Co execs have also been involved in the Russian Collusion Scam but they have not banned anybody for that!! If the AG doesn’t do anything about that we are done with them!!
Give Dorsey a double-digit prison term and watch Zuckerberg “get things right” at FarceBook!
Shut them down immediately cease assets banned permanently of ever opening this one or any other on internet if we can’t make sure it is Truth and fair then shut the whole darn thing down, we survived over 200 years with out the internet we can do it again, security, Truth, fairness, honesty, Freedom, all are more important than ugly cat
This attack on the Constitution by big-tech is calculated. They are an arm of the dimwit party…have been for years. And, now (when DJT is threatening to win a 2nd term) they make their most aggressive move yet, to help sway the election away from him. Watch closely, folks, NOBODY will stop them.
LOVE THE SENATE FOR DOING THIS IMPORTANT WORK FOR THE PEOPLE!!! Also “FACEBOOK” censors and refuses to allow us to share posts if they criticize democrat politicians !!! Destroys our “FREEDOM OF SPEECH” !!! THANK YOU !!!
Absolutely throw the book at these wanna-be tyrants! Facebook, Twitter and don’t forget Google’s biased search parameters. All three are guilty of election interference. Fine them billions and send the money out as COVID stimulus to the people.
Don’t just subpoena him — CHARGE him and ARREST him!!!!
Let’s hope the subpoena is followed through and not forgotten because all of a sudden Twitter decided 24 hrs. to allow comments on the Hunter Biden Post article. This was extreme censorship, unconstitutional and an attempt to interfere with the 2020 election! Hope they throw the book at them and change section 230.
