Senator @HawleyMO correctly points out that corporate power is a problem, but I disagree with his solutions.

The real problem isn& #39;t a monopoly on products. Rather it& #39;s an *ideological cartel* that includes small companies, startups, and VC firms. Antitrust won& #39;t fix that. 1/

He& #39;s trying to make companies smaller by law. Good intention, but bad policy. I prefer the largest companies in the world to be American rather than, say, Chinese (which would be far worse). I just want American companies not to actively destroy America& #39;s free speech culture. 2/

Better solutions:
- Amend Section 230. Make it opt-in. If you opt in to federal govt protection, then you& #39;re also bound by the standards of the First Amendment.
- Amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to add political belief as a protected class - just like race, sex, & religion 3/

Regarding Section 230: government shouldn& #39;t endow internet platforms with immunity to do what government cannot do directly under the Constitution (i.e. political censorship).

And if you can& #39;t discriminate based on race/sex/religion, you shouldn& #39;t on political belief either.
