Marco Rubio has called for limits to the power of social media and tech companies, claiming they have silenced conservative voices and controversial opinions, after Facebook reversed its policy last month of removing posts that claim COVID-19 is man-made.
The Florida senator appeared on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show on Thursday night, and told of the dangers now posed by ‘unelected, unaccountable anonymous people deciding what we are allowed to say to one another and what we are allowed to share.’
Rubio described big tech firms as ‘the new gatekeepers of the public square in American politics’.
And he slammed social media companies who were able to censor coverage of the origins of the coronavirus, as well as stories critical of Joe Biden’s son Hunter in the run up to the 2020 election.
‘Five companies in America now have the power to basically wipe anybody out and silence them,’ said Rubio.
‘Amazon, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Apple – they all get together and decide: we are going to wipe somebody out.’
