There are 40,000 people at Google and Meta pulling stuff down. They\u2019ve pulled over a billion things down. I don\u2019t really trust Big Tech to be in charge of this, and I don\u2019t, frankly, trust government in cahoots with Big Tech in private to be in charge of this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is a law in the Senate \u2014 or a bill in the Senate that would make the process more transparent, so outside sources can see if they\u2019re being honest and fair in what they pull down. And that seems, to me, the best way forward. But it is a problem for democracy to have elites in Washington and elites in Silicon Valley making decisions about what\u2019s out there. And so, that\u2019s just something we just have to wrestle with.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1688831213092000&#038;usg=AOvVaw1PLjNvPE9xhE43TkDJzri8\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<h3>Watch the video:<\/h3>\n<p>The judge in the case did <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/federal-judge-blocks-biden-officials-from-contacting-social-media-companies-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">allow<\/a> for some exceptions for Biden officials to have contact with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ga-poll-watcher-it-expert-non-trump-supporter-affidavit-sudden-surge-of-20000-mail-in-votes-for-biden-in-early-hours-on-nov\/\" title=\"GA Poll Watcher, IT Expert, Non-Trump Supporter Affidavit: Sudden Surge of 20,000 Mail-In-Votes For Biden In Early Hours On Nov\">social media companies<\/a>, including informing them of posts involving &#8220;criminal activity or criminal conspiracies,&#8221; &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/state-dept-spox-largest-threat-to-u-s-national-security-are-u-s-cops\/\" title=\"State Dept Spox: \u2018Largest Threat to U.S. National Security are U.S. Cops\u2019\">national security threats<\/a>, extortion, or other threats,&#8221; and crimes related to U.S. elections.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit, filed by Missouri and Louisiana, accused the Biden administration of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-dnc-biden-allies-pushing-sms-carriers-to-crack-down-on-vaccine-misinformation-spread-through-private-messages\/\" title=\"Report: DNC, Biden Allies Pushing SMS Carriers To Crack Down On Vaccine \u2018Misinformation\u2019 Spread Through Private Messages\">pushing social media companies<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ags-sue-biden-over-suppression-of-free-speech\/\" title=\"AGs Sue Biden Over Suppression of Free Speech\">censor content related<\/a> to the coronavirus pandemic.
