A leading 2024 presidential candidate promised to abolish the Big Tech-Government censorship collusion regime if elected.
In a Sunday interview on the Fox News Channel’s Sunday Morning Futures, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) pledged to crack down on the anti-free speech cabal perpetrated by the Biden administration’s collusion apparatus with social media platforms.
“We will end the weaponization of government,” a fired-up DeSantis told Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo, referring to the left’s blunt use of government to promote its political agenda and censor people that disagree with them. Censorship, DeSantis argued, will stop under his watch.
“We're going to clean house at the Department of Justice,” DeSantis added, before highlighting the Hunter Biden laptop scandal. “I look back at, like, the Hunter Biden censorship which was a huge, huge deal to happen in the 2020 election. And yet, those were Donald Trump's own agencies that were colluding with Big Tech. I would never allow that to happen. I would fire those people immediately.”
DeSantis touted his own actions against Government-Big Tech collusionas the chief executive at the Sunshine State. “In Florida, we've signed legislation that prohibits all state and local government officials in our state from colluding with tech companies to try to censor the political speech of Americans,” said DeSantis. The governor signed a law in May 2021 that unleashes fines up to $250,000 per day on social media platforms that ban or de-platform political candidates.
“What we have is these institutions have been captured by one particular faction of our society, and they wield power against other factions they don't like,” DeSantis continued. “If you're a pro-life activist, you may have FBI agents swarm your house even though you said that you would surrender voluntarily,” the Florida governor said.
