CRUZ, SENATOR GREAT TO SEE YOU
THIS MORNING THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR BEING WITH ME.
>> GOOD MORNING, MARIA.
ALWAYS GOOD TO BE WITH YOU --
>> YOUR REACTION TO WHAT HAVE
A TAKEN PLACE AT GOOGLE, LET
ME JUST POINT OUT, THAT LAST
WEEK, THERE WERE REPORTS THAT
GOOGLE HAD ELIMINATED THE
IMAGE OF CHURCHILL WINSTON
CHUSH OF HILL AFTER THERE WAS
A BIG YOU KNOW HYPE ABOUT IT
WHY LIMIT CHURCHILL’S IMAGINE
THEY SAID IS A MISTAKE NOW
PUSHBACK ON THE FEDERALIST
ZEROHEDGE THREATENING TO RIP
ADVERTISING REVENUE.
>> THAT IS EXACTLY RIGHT WORTH
NOTING THE POWER GOOGLE
AMASSED UNLIKE ANYTHING WE
HAVE SEEN IN THRIFT HAS NEVER
BEEN A COMPANY THAT CONTROLS
MORE INFORMATION, AND
CRITICALITY MORE ACCESS TO
INFORMATION OVER 90% SEARCHES
DONE ARE DONE THROUGH GOOGLE
THEIR CONTROL OF SEARCH OF AD
REVENUE HAS THE ABILITY TO
CONTROL WHAT THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE HEAR, LEARN,
UNDERSTAND, AND IN THIS
INSTANCE THEY REALLY ABUSED
THAT POWER.
THEY WENT AFTER THE FEDERALIST
A CONSERVATIVE MEDIA
ORGANIZATION THEY THREATENED
TO DEMONETIZE THEM TO CUT OFF
ALL AD REVENUE IN INTERNET
WORLD CAN BE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN LIFE OR DEATH.
NOW THE FEDERALIST AT FIRST
WASN’T SURE BASIS THERM TOLD
GOOGLE HAD PROBLEMS WITH SOME
COMMENTS ON WEB SITE NOT WHAT
THEY HAVE WRITTEN THE ARTICLES
JOURNALISM PUT UP BUT INSTEAD
INDIVIDUAL USERS HAD WRITTEN
COMMENTS THERAPY OFFENSIVE, I
SENT A LETTER THIS WEEK TO CEO
OF GOOGLE POINTING OUT THIS
WAS BLATANT CENSORSHIP LISTING
ABOUT A DOZEN LEFT WING SITES
ALL HAVE COMMENTS I DON’T KNOW
WHAT COMMENTS WERE, THAT
GOOGLE DEEMED OFFENSIVE I
GUARANTEE YOU THOSE LEFT WING
SITES HAVE ALL SORTS OF
PROFANE RACIST
OBJECTJECTIONABLE AMOUNTS
COMOORL NOT O IMPOSING
STANDARDS ON THEM CRITICALLY
GOOD MORNING IS NOT IMPOSING
STANDARDS ONNIS ABOUT GOOD
MORNING OWNS YOUTUBE MASSIVE
VIDEO PLATFORM IF YOU TAKE A
MINUTE LOOK AT YOUTUBE
COMMENTS YOU SEE ALL THE TIME,
OFFENSIVE RACIST PROFANE
COMMENTS SO ONE OF THE
QUESTIONS I DEMAND PRODUCTION
OF A NUMBER OF DOCUMENTS A
NUMBER OF HE INTERNAL
MATERIALS FROM GOOGLE AS TO
WHY THEY WERE ABUSING THEIR
MONOPOLY POSITION GOOGLE IS
MONOPOLY WHY ABUSING MONOPOLY
POSITION TO TRY TO HARM A
COMPETITOR OF THEIRS, AND
IMPOSE STANDARDS ON THE
FEDERALIST THEY WEREN’T
IMPOSING ON THEIR VERY OWN
COMPANY YOUTUBE.
>> WE SEE THAT ON TWITTER, WE
ALSO SEE THAT, SOCIAL MEDIA IN
GENERAL COMPANIES HAVE BECOME
BIGGER MORE POWERFUL THAN
ANYBODY EXPECTED, YOU WOULD
LIKE TO SEE SOME COMPETITION
IN THIS INDUSTRY.
BUT HOW DO YOU STOKE
COMPETITION, I MEAN YOU KNOW,
GOOGLE HAS WHAT 95% OF THE
MARKET?
>> MORE AND MORE BRAZEN WHEN
YOU TALK TO THEM LIMITS OF
HUBRIS SEEM KNOW NO BOUNDS I
SAT DOWN WITH CEO OF YOUTUBE,
WHO DESCRIBED HOW THEY
DEMONETIZED STEVEN,
CONSERVATIVE COMEDIAN SHE
EXPLAINED MATTER OF FACTLY
CROWDER HAD NOT GONE ANYTHING
TO VIOLATE RULES COMPLETELY
CONSISTENT BUT ESSENTIALLY
LEFT WING USERS COMPLAINED, SO
THEY DECIDED SIMPLY TO CUT OFF
HIS REVENUE, AND SHE BASICALLY
SAID TO ME LOOK YOU SHOULD BE
HAPPY BECAUSE WE HAVEN’T
BANNED HIM WE HAVEN’T SIELENED
HIM JUST WON’T LET HIM MAKE
MONEY I SAID WHO THE HELL ARE
YOU TO DECIDE WHO GETS TO
SPEAK AND WHO DOESN’T, ONLY
THE LEFT IS ASKING FOR YOU TO
CENSOR I AM NOT ASKING FOR YOU
TO CENSOR BERNIE SANDERS, AOC
WHATEVER OTHER LEFTY ABOUT
SOCIALIST THE BEST ANSWER IS
MORE SPEECH BIG TECH HAS
ARROGANCE THEY BELIEVE THEIR
POLITICAL VIEWS ARE THE ONLY
ONES THAT MATTER THEY ARE
GOING TO SILENCE ANYONE WHO
DISAGREES IS A VERY PROFITABLE
APPROACH WITH GOOGLE IN
PARTICULAR CONDUCT LAST WEEK
INTERESTING CROSSED A LINE,
BECAUSE THIS CONDUCT LAST
WEEK, I BELIEVE, CLEARLY
VIOLATES THE ANTITRUST LAWS
THE REASON IS, THEY WERE USING
AD REVENUE USING MONEY TO GO
AFTER A COMPETITOR OF THEIRS
WITH WHAT IS CLEARLY A
DIFFERENTIAL -- ON THEIR OWN
HOLY OWNED YOUTUBE MONOPOLIES
CAN’T DO THAT MONOPOLIES GET
SHUT DOWN BROKEN DOWN THEY
FACE TREBLE DAMAGES WHEN THEY
TRY TO DO THAT, BUT GOOGLE HAS
A ARROGANCE OF O SILICON
VALLEY THEY BELIEVE LAWS DON’T
APPLY TO THEM I AM HOPEFUL
THIS AGENCY MAKES VERY, VERY
CLEAR THAT IS NOT THE CASE.
>> THIS ADMINISTRATION JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT, IS RECOMMENDING
NEW LEGACY HOLLINGS FACEBOOK
GOOGLE TWITTER LIABLE FOR ON
LINE CONTENT COULD GET SUED ON
TWITTER THERE IS SHADOW
BANNING YOU’VE GOT MANY
COLLEAGUES, IN THE HOUSE RIGHT
NOW SUING, LIKE DEVIN NUNES
FOR THIS VERY REASON, LET ME
ASK YOU THIS, BECAUSE WE ARE A
FEW MAINES AWAY FROM ANOTHER
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION SENATOR.
ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT SOME OF
THESE SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES
AS YOU CALL IT ARROGANCE
TRYING TO SUPPRESS SPEECH
GOING INTO PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION?
>> BIG TECH IS ANGRY, THAT
DONALD TRUMP GOT ELECTED, AND
THEY ARE ANGRY AT THEMSELVES
FOR LETTING HIM GET ELECTED I
BELIEVE BIG TEMPERATURE
RESOLVED THEY WON’T LET IT
HAPPEN AGAIN GOING TO DO A
EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO TRY TO
SILENCE ANY SPEECH, THAT THEY
DON’T LIKE, AND THEY ARE
BRAZEN ABOUT IT DISCOVER THEY
CAN DO IT WITHOUT MAJOR
CONSEQUENCES I HAVE CHAIRED A
SERIES OF HEARINGS LOOKING AT
BIG TECH CENSORSHIP I THINK
THE BIGGEST SINGLE THREAT TO
DEMOCRACY IN ONE HEARING WE
HEARD TESTIMONY FROM HE
ACADEMICING DR. ROBERT HE
EPSTEIN HAS DONE ONLY
EMPIRICAL STUDY FOUND LAST
ELECTION 2016 GOOGLE MIPTDZ
MISLEADING SEARCHES SHIFTED
UPWARDS OF 2.6 MILLION VOTES
TO HILLARY CLINTON, THE
INTERESTING THING ABOUT DR.
EPSTEIN, HE IS NOT A
REPUBLICAN, HE IS NOT A
CONSERVATIVE, HE IS A LIBERAL
DEMOCRAT WHO ARE SUPPORTED
VOTED FOR HILLARY CLINTON YET
TESTIFIED BEFORE BY COMMITTEE
THAT HE WAS HORRIFIED TO SEE
BIG TECH A HANDFUL OF SILICON
VALLEY BILLIONAIRES EXERCISING
BLATANT CENSORSHIP DID
HECEPTION TO TRY TO CHANGE
RESULTS HE TESTIFIED IF THEY
COULD IT AGAIN LEAD HARD COULD
MOVE UPWARDS OF 15 MILLION
VOTES A PROFOUND THREAT WHY I
HAVE BEEN MEETING WITH THE
ADMINISTRATION OVER AND MEFR
AND OVER AGAIN, THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL, THE DEPUTY ATTORNEY
GENERAL ATTORNEY GENERAL, THE
PRESIDENT, THE CHIEF OF STAFF
THE WHITE HOUSE COUNSEL, THE
CHAIRMAN RST FEDERAL TRADE
COMMISSION ALL OF THEM I HAVE
MET WITH ON THIS TOPIC TO SAY,
WE NEED ALL OF THE RESOURCES
OF THE ADMINISTRATION, FOCUSED
ON STOPPING THIS LAWLESS
CONDUCT PROTECTING FREE SPEECH
IN ELECTIONS, BECAUSE IF WE
DON’T SILICON VALLEY
BILLIONAIRES CONTROL DECIDE
OUR ELECTIONS.
>> NEW LEGISLATION OUT OF DOJ,
THAT THEY ARE PROPOSING IS
TARGETING SECTION 230, AS YOU
KNOW THE DECADES OLD PORTION
OF THE LAW SPARES SOCIAL MEDIA
COMPANIES FROM BEING HELD
LIABLE FOR CONTENT, PHOTOS
UPLOADED TO SITES, THAT IS
BECAUSE YOU THERE WAS A
THINKING THAT THEY WERE THE
PLATFORM THEY WERE THE
PLATFORM FOR LOTS OF DIFFERENT
IDEAS, BUT WHAT WE’RE SEEING
IS THEY ARE MORE THAN JUST A
PLATFORM THEY ARE DECIDING
WHAT SHOULD BE ON THAT
PLATFORM, AND IN MANY CASES,
IT IS LIBERAL CONTENT VERSUS
ARE CONSERVATIVE CONTENT.
>> THAT IS RIGHT I WILL TELL
YOU BIG TECHNICAL MADE A
CHANGE WIN LAST FEW YEARS, IN
ONE OF THE HEARINGS I CHAIRED,
ABOUT WE PULLED UP AN INTERNAL
GOOGLE PRESENTATION, IT WAS A
50 PAGES LONG ENTITLED THE
GOOD CENSOR WHAT THEY CALLED
IT GOOD CENSOR, IN IT ARE
CARSED CON TRASTED THE
LAISSEZ-FAIRE FREE SPEECH
MODEL LET PEOPLE SPEAK HAVE
RIGHTS THEY CON TRAVTD THAT
WITH NEW THIS IS WHAT THEY
CALLED IT EUROPEAN STYLE
CENSOR MODEL AND THE COMPANIES
THAT GOOGLE IDENTIFIED ENGAGED
IN NEW EUROPEAN STYLE
CENSORSHIP MODEL GOOGLE
YOUTUBE FACEBOOK, TWITTER, SO
THIS IS NOT HE ACCIDENTAL THEY
MADE A DECISION TO CHANGE THAT
END HAVE DONE IT BECAUSE THEY
BELIEVE THEY HAVE THE POWER,
AND NO WON WILL HOLD THEM TO
ACCOUNT I THINK WE’VE GOT A
RESPONSIBILITY TO HOLD THEM TO
ACCOUNT.
>> ALL RIGHT SENATOR WE WILL
BE WATCHING, THE LEGISLATION
COMING OUT, OF SENATE AS WELL
