Klobuchar May Become AG Under Biden, Favors Possibly Breaking Up Google
Senator Amy Klobuchar may become Attorney General under the Joe Biden administration, according to reports — and based on her recent statements, she would not be good news for Google and others in Big Tech, as she may ratchet up an effort to break them apart, rather than looking the other way simply because she’s a Democrat… as some in Silicon Valley might be hoping.
Democrats are traditionally seen as being cozier with Silicon Valley than conservatives, yet this time around things are different: Biden has stated he supports yanking Section 230 immunity from the social media giants, a stance his Attorney General may very well pursue, based on her statements so far.
See, Biden and the Democrats are angry that any truth at all leaked out on Google and Facebook — very truthful Pizzagate, which landed me an un-American de-personing in the West, is something the DNC would have preferred die off with the bizarre solitary confinement of Julian Assange, who bears the responsibility for all that stuff seeing the light of day four years ago.
The Democrats are angry you can even share memes about the Biden family’s lobbying interactions on Facebook — they wanted absolute control. Hillary Clinton even once suggested she would like to be considered as Facebook’s CEO, should the position open up, despite not really knowing anything about Internet applications.
To me, as a researcher, if the next administration plows ahead with the anti-trust investigation into Google, it should spend time looking into how I was banned on TikTok within days of joining, how our company was banned from Instagram without violating any of their policies, how our Facebook page reach fell by 92% month-over-month and how all these seemingly unrelated occurrences happened just weeks before the US election.
If my company or myself were targeted due to our perceived politics, or if a unified blacklist in Silicon Valley exists where getting, say, tossed from TikTok for talking politics then leads to an automatic ban on Instagram, a service owned by an entirely separate company, then we have a problem indeed — industry-wide collusion like this, and blacklisting, are not supposed to exist in America.
