evin Nunes, CEO of Trump Media and Technology Group, told Newsmax Monday that Twitter is “the canary in the coal mine” of Big Tech’s suppression of Americans’ First Amendment freedoms.
New Twitter owner and CEO Elon Musk set off a firestorm of controversy with his disclosure of internal company documents earlier this month that show a systemic effort to silence conservative users and a concerted effort by the federal government to censor speech.
“Twitter is just the, no pun intended, kind of the canary in the coal mine because Facebook and Instagram are the big boys on the block, where you have well over 100, maybe 200 million Americans that have either an Instagram or Facebook account, so I’d really like to know what’s happening at Facebook,” Nunes said during an appearance on Newsmax’s “The Chris Salcedo Show.”
“The fact that the FBI, DOJ, the Biden administration would weigh in and Twitter would do this and take away people’s First Amendment rights, I think there’s a lot more to come here,” he added.
The former California congressman said that former President Donald Trump, who owns his own social media platform, Truth Social, has been “very supportive” of Musk’s acquisition of Twitter and “pushing all of this information out to the public.”
