The battle against Big Tech continues, as Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita announced Wednesday he has launched an investigation into five companies for their censorship of conservatives.
Per a statement from Rokita’s office, the investigation is focused on whether the companies “potentially harmed Indiana consumers through business practices that are abusive, deceptive and/or unfair.”
“In particular, Attorney General Rokita is proving methods by which the companies have limited consumers’ access to certain content often deleting or obscuring posted material reflecting a politically conservative point of view,” the statement said. “Such manipulation prevents consumers from making informed choices.”
“In a free society, few assets are more important to consumers than access to information and the opportunity to express political viewpoints in meaningful forums,” Rokita said. “It is potentially harmful and unfair for these companies to manipulate content in ways they do not publicly discuss or that consumers do not fully understand.”
The investigation, which targets Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google and Twitter, also includes actions taken by attorney Vanita Gupta Biden’s far-left nomination for associate attorney general to “encourage the companies to censor conservative viewpoints.”
The statement urged that Gupta “has allegedly met with Facebook and Twitter executives to urge ‘more rigorous rules and enforcement’ to use her own words as quoted in Time.”
“Gupta, according to the Time article, stressed that it was important for social media platforms to be ‘tagging things and taking them down,” the statement added.

Good for Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita for trying to go after Big Tech. What needs to be done is a repeal of Section 230, so these communists at Big Tech can be sued, for practicing censorship. The problem is, the do nothing Congress, both the House and Senate will never do this, because money from Big Tech talks.
AND that is why MORE STATES need to step up, and LEAD this issue. SINCE WE cannot trust congress to do what’s needed.
I hope the people Biden picks turns on him like the Republican Supremes turn on Trump and us. (This was meant the article on packing the Supreme Court)
