In a ground-shaking move, a joint Texas Senate committee has put its foot down, aimed at moderating Big Tech’s overt election manipulation. Both Democrats and Republicans in solid agreement—Big Tech, prepare to explain yourselves!
Unquestionably, the recent unanimous decision on May 29, 2024, by the Senate Committee on State Affairs could be a carver. Big Tech companies, who have been accused of being biased towards one direction with their content regulation, will soon find themselves squirming in Texas courtrooms. Companies like Google’s parent company Alphabet and Meta Platforms, which rule Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and now even TikTok, are being issued subpoenas. Texas has drawn the line and made it clear—no one messes with their election integrity.
The decision was not a surprise on party lines, but a unified stance pointing toward one common goal: free speech and a fair electoral process. The hearing comprised testimonies from individuals like Dan Schneider, Vice President of MRC Free Speech America, Google ‘whistleblower’ Zac Vorhies, Facebook ‘whistleblower’ Ryan Hartwig, and Robert Epstein—a research psychologist who’s known for his impact studies on Google Search and the voting procedure.
Through their honest confessions, a broader issue came into light—not just meddling with free speech but jeopardizing users’ rights, and turning the values of the First Amendment upside down. But it’s not just about politics. These tech barbarians believe they have the power to discriminate against people based on their political viewpoints, race, and even religion.
Needless to say, this blatant use of power is unacceptable. Schneider observed parallels between the discriminatory approach of Big Tech and the racially discriminatory Plessy v. Ferguson standard, a case wherein the court had argued that public service corporations could treat people of different races as separate but equal.
A modern day Plessy v. Ferguson can’t be the standard, especially for enterprises that virtually control the world’s flow of information. In a just world, the Committee’s move is not just commendable, but necessary.
This is a loud and clear message to Big Tech: Texas won’t be bullied. With this subpoena authorization, they’ve flexed their legal muscle to protect the rights of their people. What started as a battle to secure user rights and free speech has evolved into a larger fight to uphold democracy, and the fair practice of freedom and equality. We, the people, need to stand our ground against those who want to control our voices. Today, Texas stands tall, and it is high time that the rest of America follows suit.
