00:00:00.000 My worry is that these companies are increasingly censoring.
00:00:03.000 I mean they are they are censoring conservatives, they are censoring based on political viewpoint.
00:00:07.000 And my question is, should they really be getting this special immunity from the government if they're also going to act like censors?
00:00:33.000 My name is Laura Loomer.
00:00:37.000 My name is Laura Limmer.
00:00:39.000 I'll say that again.
00:00:40.000 Do you think Senator Graham should honor the tradition that those lips?
00:00:44.000 You know, I think he's doing the right thing.
00:00:47.000 I think he's doing the right thing.
00:00:47.000 Hi, my name is Laura Limer.
00:00:48.000 I'm a conservative service and I am probably one of the most censored people in America.
00:00:52.000 Oh my gosh.
00:00:53.000 I have been banned by Twitter.
00:00:54.000 I've been banned by Uber Lyft, Uber Eats, PayPal.
00:00:56.000 Even Tracy Bay suspended my online access the other day.
00:00:59.000 I've been banned everywhere and I really need you to help me and hold the panel so that we can get justice for conservatives who have been censored by this big tech social media company.
00:01:08.000 Because Akrida said journalists like myself can no longer make a living online.
00:01:12.000 90% of my income came from PayPal.
00:01:15.000 And so will you agree to meet with me in your office so that we can take steps to address social media bias?
00:01:21.000 We would love to visit with you.
00:01:23.000 Thanks everybody.
00:01:25.000 Thanks for watching and the conference area.
00:01:29.000 People like Alex Limmery.
00:01:31.000 Thank you.
00:01:41.000 Why should the US government favor those companies in a way that they don't favor my company, for example?
00:01:48.000 Yeah, I think that's a very good question.
00:01:49.000 And look, I mean, let's be honest.
00:01:50.000 These tech companies, Facebook, Google, Twitter, they have gotten huge.
00:01:53.000 They have gotten powerful.
00:01:54.000 They have gotten rich on the backs of this special immunity that they get from the federal government, on the back of what's called Section 230.
00:02:01.000 And I think it's time we asked some hard questions.
00:02:03.000 They're monopolies now.
00:02:05.000 They're very powerful.
00:02:06.000 They appear to be using their power to try and shut down political viewpoints that they don't agree with, usually conservative.
