On Tuesday, Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) raked Facebook and Twitter over the coals at a hearing for having a history of “mistakes” that overwhelmingly appear to target conservatives.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) slammed Democrats during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing over their calls for social media platforms to increase censorship. “There is an absolute silence for Democrats speaking out for the citizens silenced by Big Tech.” Cruz said. “Instead, there is a demand: use even more power to silence dissent, and that’s a totalitarian instinct that I think is very dangerous…

Just as many conservatives are leaving Facebook and Twitter for Parler, some have also begun to leave YouTube for a different video-sharing platform.

GOP senators are ready to go on the attack against two Big Tech CEOs at a Senate hearing tomorrow about how online censorship influenced the election.

Bloomberg News was outraged that a conservative news host expressed concern about alleged presidential election problems. The organization, owned by liberal billionaire Michael Bloomberg, came out against “expressing views.”

Facebook and Google have not lifted their respective bans on political ads, and likely won’t for at least another month, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The former head of Reddit says allowing President Donald Trump on social media is supporting “a coup.”

It’s no secret that Silicon Valley skews sharply left, and former Vice President Joe Biden has added dozens of current and former Big Tech employees to his transition team. Biden’s transition team already hosts at least 16 current and former Silicon Valley employees — including former staffers from Facebook and Twitter.

There’s a social media company that hasn’t yet bowed to pressure from the left, and the left does NOT appear to be happy about it. With the rampant censorship on Facebook and Twitter, many conservatives have turned to the Parler platform.

A conservative exodus to Parler from liberal Big Tech platforms has taken place since the chaotic election. The rising social media platform had skyrocketed to become the top app on the App Store. The reason? Parler CEO John Matze said it’s because people have finally had it with Big Tech’s Orwellian infringement on freedom of speech.
