Vice President JD Vance said that large technology companies remain “much in the announcement” to respect the constitutional rights of free speech, despite the support shown for the new Silicon Valley Titans administration.
Vance told CBS “confronts the nation on Sunday that President Trump is prepared to act if technology giants continue practices that conservatives perceive as censorship.
“We essentially believe that great technology has a lot of power,” Vance said.
“They can either respect the constitutional rights of Americans, to stop being involved in censorship or face the consequences under Donald Trump’s leadership.”
During the interview, Vance also clashed with “Face the Nation” moderator Margaret Brennan on Trump’s decision to stop a refugee program that banned hundreds of Afghan from reaching the US.
Despite the Big Tech Trump’s Bear’s embrace since the November 5 elections, the president and his supporters still have complaints for years against social media platforms allegedly having an anti -conservative bias by moderating content in the ways they see as suppression of free free expression.
After leaving office in 2021, Trump accused Google of suppressing favorable news coverage for him.
He also criticized Zuckerberg’s Meta platforms for his ban on Facebook and Instagram after January 6, 2021 Capitol Riots.
Since Trump’s re-election in November, some technology CEOs have been overtaking for the administration, participating in its events in Mar-a-Lago and contributing to its inaugural fund.
The visible attendees included Meta Zuckerberg, CEO of Google Sundar Pichai, the founder of Amazon Jeff Bezos and the owner of X Musk, who has become one of Trump’s best advisers.
In particular, Zuckerberg has sought to improve relations with the administration, changing the tension years.
Earlier this month, Meta’s chief announced that the company would end its third -party fact control program, a Trump -rated action.
Joel Kaplan, the leading official of Global Meta Affairs, acknowledged that the company’s moderation systems had “gone far away”, leading to excessive limitations on free expression.
Trump’s hostility to the technology platforms escalated during his first term.
In 2020, Twitter, now known as X, controlled by the facts and flags Trump’s posts regarding the post -voting and protests of George Floyd, leading him to accuse the censorship platform.
Trump responded by signing an executive order trying to limit the protection of the responsibility of social media companies under Article 230 of the Law on Communication Declaration.
In October 2020, the post published a report based on e -mail received from Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop, raising concerns about potential corruption.
The major social media platforms, including Twitter and Facebook, restricted the distribution of the article, citing the disturbances of the misinformation, which aroused debates on the censorship and impact of technology enterprises on political discourse.
Despite the initial allegations by the intelligence chiefs that the History History Hunter Biden was “Russian misinformation”, investigators later admitted that emails were authentic.
Following the riots of January 6, 2021, Facebook and Twitter suspended Trump’s accounts, citing posts they said fostering violence.
Musk returned Trump’s Twitter account after winning the platform in 2022, while Meta resett Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts in January 2023 after a two-year suspension.
