Sen. Warren after Facebook's Trump ban: 'They're acting like they're bigger than government'Washington Times. May 6, 2021
Sen. Elizabeth Warren blasted Facebook as having too much power and “acting like they’re bigger than government” after the company decided to uphold its suspension of former President Donald Trump Wednesday.
“I’m glad that he’s not on Facebook,” the Massachusetts Democrat told Cheddar News. “I think that he poses a real danger. But I don’t think that Facebook ought to have this kind of power. We need to break up these giant tech companies, and Facebook is one of them.
“They are crushing competition,” she continued. “And in cases like Facebook, they’re acting like they’re bigger than government. The group that made this decision calls itself ‘the Supreme Court’ — they are not the Supreme Court, they’re part of a private company. They need to be broken up, we need a chance for competition to flourish here, and we need a chance to have some power that balances out what these giants are up to.”
