Congress threatened to hold Big Tech accountable if they don’t censor “misinformation.”
Analyst Comment: Since it is unconstitutional for the US government to censor, they will achieve the same ends by working through big tech. The threats to big tech are largely a show. Big tech players like Facebook have long called for guidance for censorship and are perfectly happy to censor content the US government dislikes. In exchange big tech gets special access to contracts, tax breaks, beneficial legislation, and more.
