Ted Cruz grills Twitter CEO on censorship: 'Who the hell elected YOU!?'

i want to focus my questioning on mr,dorsey,and on twitter because of the three,players before us i think twitter's,conduct has by far,been the most egregious,mr dorsey does twitter have the ability,to influence elections no,you don't believe twitter has any,ability to influence elections,no we are one part of a spectrum of,communication challenges that people,have,so you're testifying to this committee,right now that that twitter when it,silences people when it censors people,when it blocks political speech,that has no impact on elections people,people have choice of other,communication channels with which,not if they don't hear information if,you don't think you have the power to,influence,elections why do you block anything,uh well we have policies that are,focused on making sure that more voices,on the platform are possible,we see a lot of abuse and harassment,which ends up silencing people and,helping them leave from the platform,all right mr dorsey i find your opening,questions your opening answers,absurd on their face let's talk about,the last two weeks in particular,as you know i have long been concerned,about twitter's pattern,of censoring and silencing individual,americans with whom,twitter disagrees but two weeks ago,twitter and to a lesser extent facebook,crossed a threshold that is fundamental,in our country two weeks ago twitter,made the unilateral decision,to censor the new york post in a series,of two blockbuster articles,both alleging evidence of corruption,against joe biden the first concerning,ukraine,the second concerning communist china,and twitter made the decision number one,to prevent users any user,from sharing those stories and number,two you went,even further and blocked the new york,post from sharing,on twitter its own reporting,why did twitter make the decision to,censor the new york post,uh we had a hack materials policy,um when's that policy adopted uh,in 2018 i believe in 2018 go ahead what,was,what was the policy so the policy is,around,um limiting the spread of materials,that are hacked we didn't want twitter,to be a distributor for hack materials,we found that the newer post because,it showed the direct materials,screenshots,of the direct materials and it was,unclear how those were attained,that it felt that it fell under this,policy now,so in your view if it's unclear the,source of a document in this,instance the new york post documented,what it said the source was which it,said it was a,a laptop owned by hunter biden that had,been turned into a,repair store so they weren't hiding what,they claimed to be the source,is it your position that twitter when,you can't tell the source blocks,blocks press stories no not at all,um we our team made a fast decision,uh the enforcement action however of,blocking urls,both in tweets and uh in dm,in direct messages we believe was,incorrect and we changed it,today the new york post is still blocked,from tweeting,two weeks later yes they have to log,into their account which they can do,at this minute delete the original tweet,which fell,under our original enforcement actions,and they can tweet the exact same,material from the exact same article and,it would go through,so mr dorsey your ability is you have,the power to force,a media out and let's be clear the new,york post isn't just some random guy,tweeting the new york post has the,fourth highest circulation of any,newspaper in america the new york post,is over,200 years old the new york post was,founded by alexander hamilton,and your position is that that you can,sit in silicon valley and demand of the,media,that you can tell them what stories they,can publish and you can tell the,american people what reporting they can,hear is that right,no this was this was a you know every,person,every account uh every uh organization,that signs up to twitter,agrees to terms of service in terms of,service so media,lets us genuflect and obey your dictates,if they wish to be able to communicate,with readers is that right,no not at all we you know we we,recognized an error,in this policy and specifically the,enforcement you're still blocking their,posts,you're still blocking their posts right,now today you're blocking their posts,we're not blocking the post anyone can,tweet,can the new york post uh post on their,on their twitter account,if they go into their account no is your,answer to that no,unless they reflect and agree with your,dictates let me ask you something,you claimed it was because of a hacked,materials uh,policy i find that facially,highly dubious and clearly employed in,in a deeply partial way did twitter,block the distribution of the new york,times,story a few weeks ago that purported to,be based on copies,of president trump's tax returns we,didn't find that,a violation of our terms of service and,this policy in particular,because there's reporting about the,material it wasn't,distributing the material okay well,that's actually not true that they,posted what they purported to be,original

Sen. Ted Cruz to Twitter CEO: "Mr Dorsey, who the hell elected you...?"

chairman,i want to thank you mr chairman for,holding this hearing,the three witnesses we have before this,committee today collectively pose,i believe the single greatest threat to,free speech in america,and the greatest threat we have to free,and fair elections,yesterday i spent a considerable amount,of time speaking with both mr zuckerberg,and mr pachai,i have concerns about the behavior of,both of their companies,i would note that facebook is at the,minimum at least,trying to make some efforts in the,direction of defending free speech,i appreciate their doing so google,i agree with the concerns that senator,klobuchar raised,i think google has more power than any,company on the face of the planet,and the antitrust concerns are real the,impact of google is profound,and i expect we will have continued and,ongoing discussions about google's abuse,of that power,and its willingness to manipulate search,outcomes,to influence and change election results,but today i want to focus my questioning,on mr dorsey and on twitter because of,the three players before us i think,twitter's conduct has by far,been the most egregious,mr dorsey does twitter have the ability,to influence elections no,you don't believe twitter has any,ability to influence elections,no we are one part of a spectrum of,communication challenges that people,have,so you're testifying to this committee,right now that that twitter when it,silences people when it censors people,when it blocks political speech,that has no impact on elections people,people,have choice of other communication,channels with

Donald Trump winning this was all,about weaponizing big Tech it is,absolutely corrupt and and what is,amazing is the Democrats were fully in,on it the corporate media was fully in,on it nilon's released the receipts,which shows all of them are willing to,abuse power to stay in power what can,you do about this as a U.S senator,well continue shining shining a light on,it if we had a majority we should be,holding hearings and issuing subpoenas,because the Democrats have majorities in,the Senate they don't want to issue,subpoenas they don't want to have any,oversight but the good news is,Republicans won the House of,Representatives on Election Day which,means in the house and I'm working,closely with Republicans in the house we,need to have real and serious oversight,examining this we need to haul these,people before Congress to testify under,oath and anyone who committed a crime,should be prosecuted you know I do a,podcast three days a week called verdict,with Ted Cruz today's podcast I walk,through this these Elon musks all of the,inside documents from Twitter one after,the other after the other and one of the,things that's interesting the fella you,just showed a minute ago who was the,head of safety so supposedly at Twitter,signed an affidavit that was submitted,to the Federal Election Commission in,which he flat out lied in which he flat,out said nope we weren't communicating,with the Democrats we weren't,communicating with Biden we did this on,our own because we thought it was hacked,well he was convinced that the actual,evidence would never become public he,didn't count on Elon Musk buying Twitter,and making it public and I got to tell,you that fellow and everyone who lied,under oath they better be retaining,lawyers because they're facing real,civil and real criminal Jeopardy right,now so if you haul these fellows in,front of Congress and make them testify,and they plead the fifth or they lie to,you and they lie to Congress what can,you do to them,well unfortunately the the way it it,works under our constitution is that it,is the executive branch that brings,criminal indictments as the executive,branch that prosecute so Dr fauci lied,to Congress he flat out lied to Congress,when he said that no the federal,government had not funded gain of,function research at the Wuhan Institute,for virology subsequently the NIH has,made clear that that was a lie and that,yet you know what Merrick Garland and,the Biden doj they won't prosecute him,so when these clowns come in front of,Congress and perjure themselves I am,sadly confident that Merrick Garland,will not prosecute them it's why I wrote,the book that that that you just,mentioned Justice corrupted how the left,has weaponized the legal system because,I explain how Barack Obama now Joe Biden,have turned the FBI and the doj and the,IRS and the entire alphabet soup of,Washington,into a political weapon to attack their,enemies it is dangerous and what we've,got to do is fight from Congress but we,also we need to win in 24 throw these,clowns out so we can clean house at the,FBI and doj and put in people who will,enforce the law and not simply turn it,into a partisan weapon all right and big,race tomorrow in Georgia Herschel Walker,again very very important in terms of,these committees if you're in Georgia,come vote turnout is critical all right,Senator Ted Cruz everyone always lies to,Congress it must it must hurt your,feelings Senator I'll talk to you later,hey Sean Hannity here hey click here to,subscribe to Fox News YouTube page and,catch our hottest interviews and most,compelling analysis you will not get it,anywhere else

Ted Cruz: Here's How Biden Colluded With Twitter To Silence Free Speech

Ted Cruz: Here's How Biden Colluded With Twitter To Silence Free Speech

thank you Mr chairman let me thank both,Senator Klobuchar and Senator Kennedy,for the good faith work on this,important topic,I find myself genuinely conflicted on,this bill,I think it is endeavoring to solve a a,real problem,I think local journalism faces enormous,pressures and threats and I think big,Tech behaves,like an angry giant squashing the,lilliputians before it,uh I also think when it comes to Media,local journalism is far more likely to,actually practice journalism to report,on facts,to actually describe to viewers or,readers what has happened,I think much of our national media has,become wildly politicized,on both sides,and many of the national media platforms,operate as partisan propaganda Outlets,I'd like to see,local media expand and proliferate,because I think our democracy does,better when we have,genuine debate,from both sides or even more sides than,that,at the same time I I do think the,concerns that have been raised by,Senator Lee and others are are real,and I am not at all convinced that this,bill,will solve the problem it is intending,to solve,and I have at least some concern that,the bill May exacerbate the problems,that it is ostensibly created to solve,when I look at big Tech and when I look,at media,I think the single greatest threat we,have to free speech,is not even the market power of big Tech,but it is the wanton abuse of power and,the blatant censorship from Big Tech,several Senators today have said well,there have been allegations of,censorship,let's be clear These Are Not Mere,allegations,it is unequivocal,that big Tech is actively censoring,speech it disagrees with,and is doing so in a wildly partisan,manner,we can point to a couple of very,specific examples that are recent and in,the news,the Biden White House,explicitly asked Twitter will you please,ban Alex Berenson,a former reporter for the New York Times,now it used to be that that Democrats,thought the New York Times was a,reputable organization I have some real,questions about that but the fact that,Berenson was a New York Times Reporter,ought to at least have some,modicum of credibility that he's a,journalist but,in the midst of covid baronson dared,question,the Orthodoxy that was demanded from,this Administration the Biden,Administration demanded a big Tech,silence this voice because we must have,noticent and what did Twitter do,happily complied,and said he is banned now mind you,Barrington turn around sued Twitter,and one,they settled the lawsuit they reinstated,him and Twitter publicly admitted that,what he was saying was not,misinformation,anyone who cares about Free Speech ought,to be troubled,with this white house or any others,directing big Tech silence journalists,who are saying something I don't like,not just the Biden White House we also,have had recent Revelations that right,before the 2020 election,the Federal Bureau of Investigation,asked Facebook,take down any stories about the hunter,Biden laptop,now look pause for a second I get their,partisan differences between both sides,and in an election Republicans like,things that help Republicans Democrats,like things that help Democrats that's,the nature of politics,anyone remotely concerned about Free,Speech or civil liberties,ought to be concerned about the FBI,asking big Tech,weeks before an election to take down,information,because it's politically harmful to the,party they want to Prevail and by the,way it's worth underscoring,we now know the hunter Biden laptop,story was true Not only was it not,misinformation Not only was it not,Russian misinformation which is what the,FBI falsely claimed it was true it was,accurate it was real,nonetheless both Facebook and Twitter,said take it down and they demanded the,New York Post they de-platformed,a newspaper founded by Alexander,Hamilton with the fifth largest,circulation in the country they,de-platform the New York Post,as long as they kept it up,now if you care about journalism,big Tech operating at the behest of the,FBI to interfere in an election,ought to scare the hell out of you,so,when I look at this question,what is preeminent to me is whether this,bill is going to increase,or decrease censorship I've got a series,of amendments which which I intend to,offer this morning,and whether I vote yes or no on this,bill is going to depend on what happens,on those amendments,and I will say this,to the authors of the bill,for most of us here this is not our,first rodeo,we've been through a markup,I understand often the authors of a bill,circle the wagons and say okay any,amendment that does anything significant,we're against,we got our bill we want to force it,through,and it's not that hard to count noses in,this markup,I think right now if this bill comes to,a vote you get most or all of the,Democrats,maybe one or two exceptions but you're,going to get almost every Democrat,and you'll get at least a handful of,Republicans,that'll be enough to pass it that will,get over the majority threshold,so that if the objec

Ted Cruz grills Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey for 'censoring' Hunter Biden story

Ted Cruz grills Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey for 'censoring' Hunter Biden story

chairman i want to thank you mr chairman,for,holding this hearing the three witnesses,we have before this committee today,collectively pose i believe the single,greatest threat to free speech in,america,and the greatest threat we have to free,and fair elections,yesterday i spent a considerable amount,of time speaking with both mr zuckerberg,and mr pachai,i have concerns about the behavior of,both of their companies,i would note that facebook is at the,minimum at least,trying to make some efforts in the,direction of defending free speech,i appreciate their doing so google,i agree with the concerns that senator,klobuchar raised,i think google has more power than any,company on the face of the planet,and the antitrust concerns are real the,impact of google is profound,and i expect we will have continued and,ongoing discussions about google's abuse,of that power,and its willingness to manipulate search,outcomes,to influence and change election results,but today i want to focus my questioning,on mr dorsey and on twitter because of,the three players before us i think,twitter's conduct has by far,been the most egregious,mr dorsey does twitter have the ability,to influence elections no,you don't believe twitter has any,ability to influence elections,no we are one part of a spectrum of,communication challenges that people,have,so you're testifying to this committee,right now that that twitter when it,silences people when it censors people,when it blocks political speech,that has no impact on elections people,people have choice of other,communication channels with which,not if they don't hear information if,you don't think you have the power to,influence elections why do you block,anything,uh well we have policies that are,focused on making sure that more voices,on the platform are possible we see a,lot of abuse and harassment which ends,up,silencing people and having them leave,from the platform all right mr dorsey i,find your opening questions,your opening answers absurd on their,face let's talk about the last two weeks,in particular,as you know i have long been concerned,about twitter's pattern,of censoring and silencing individual,americans with whom,twitter disagrees but two weeks ago,twitter and to a lesser extent facebook,crossed a threshold that is fundamental,in our country,two weeks ago twitter made the,unilateral decision,to censor the new york post in a series,of two blockbuster articles,both alleging evidence of corruption,against joe biden the first concerning,ukraine,the second concerning communist china,and twitter made the decision number one,to prevent users any user,from sharing those stories and number,two you went,even further and blocked the new york,post from sharing,on twitter its own reporting,why did twitter make the decision to,censor the new york post,we had a hack materials policy um,when's that policy adopted uh in 2018 i,believe,in 2018 go ahead what was what was the,policy so the policy is around,um limiting the spread of materials,uh that are hacked um we didn't want,twitter to be a distributor for hack,materials,we found that the newer post because,it showed the direct materials,screenshots of the direct materials,and it was unclear how those were,attained that it felt,that it fell under this policy now so in,your view if it's unclear the source of,a document in this instance the new york,post,documented what it said the source was,which it said it was a,a laptop owned by hunter biden that had,been turned into a,repair store so they weren't hiding what,they claimed to be the source,is it your position that twitter when,you can't tell the source blocks,blocks press stories no not at all,um we our team made a fast decision,uh the enforcement action however of,blocking urls,both in tweets and uh in dm,in direct messages we believe was,incorrect and we changed it,today the new york post is still blocked,from tweeting,two weeks later yes they have to log,into their account which they can do,at this minute delete the original tweet,which fell,under our original enforcement actions,and they can tweet the exact same,material from the exact same article and,it would go through,so mr dorsey your ability is you have,the power to force,a media out and let's be clear the new,york post isn't just,some random guy tweeting the new york,post has the fourth highest circulation,of any newspaper in america the new york,post is over,200 years old the new york post was,founded by alexander hamilton,and your position is that that you can,sit in silicon valley and demand of the,media,that you can tell them what stories they,can publish and you can tell the,american people what reporting they can,hear is that right,no this was this was a you know every,person,every account uh every uh organization,that signs up to twitter,agrees to terms of service in terms of,service so media,lets us genuflect and obey your dictates,if they wish to be able to communicate,with readers is that right,no not at all we you know
