GOP steps up attack over tech bias claims

Republicans are coming after Silicon Valley’s legal protections.

A lawsuit from Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) and fresh attacks from President Trump are giving momentum to a conservative push to gut the law that gives companies immunity for content posted by their users.

Conservatives see the changes as essential to combating what they say is anti-conservative bias and censorship by the tech industry.

Republicans brought new attention to the controversy this week when Nunes sued Twitter and several of its users for defamation. The lawmaker alleged Twitter users were allowed to insult him online because the company has a left-wing bias.

to create an election issue since the NRA and gun rights are being reined in. Victims till the end. Now it will be free speech wrapped in a cross and wearing a white hood.

fake pseudo-science, organized violence, and white supremacy

Meaning a bias against anything a decent thinking human being would abhor
