Sen. Mike Lee: Big Tech companies falsely claim no bias against conservatives — they may be violating law
Tech giants must be held accountable so they don't act deceptively or unfairly
OPINION - By Sen. Mike Lee | Fox News
Former governor of Arkansas Mike Huckabee says the CEOS of Facebook and Twitter 'were caught with their hands in the cookie jar' when they struggled to name a single liberal who has been censored on their platforms.
On August 30, 2019, Facebook notified Lila Rose, the president of the pro-life group Live Action, that an independent fact-checker had rated two of her group’s videos as “false.” Facebook said it would therefore suppress the videos and notify all users who shared the videos that they had shared “false news.”

The Dispatch eventually retracted its fact-check, admitting it was completely wrong, and Facebook then reinstated the ads.

____________
Each of these Big Tech CEOs has made public statements claiming to operate his company without political bias. Clearly, that is false. These claims make me think there is a good case to be made that these companies are engaging in “unfair or deceptive trade practices” in violation of federal law.
If these companies are not already in violation of federal consumer law protections, then it may be necessary to review these laws to ensure that these companies are held accountable, ensuring that they must provide truthful information to consumers and are not able to act deceptively or unfairly in the marketplace.
