Media is Destroying the US
I thought I couldn't say this any better so enjoy.
I am tackling a big topic nest week. Where would we be now with
Trump still in office but enjoy this.
SOCIAL MEDIA IS DESTRYOING US AND WHERE IS THE ANTI TRUST?
Dr. Virginia Merchant, Ph.D.

I recently watched Senator Braun of Indiana question the top
three media companies regarding the protest at the White House
Congressional building.
The Senator asked Dorsey of Twitter, Zuckerberg of Facebook,
and Sundar Pichai of Google to give a yes or no answer as to their
company's involvement in people using their site to discuss
gathering to protest the election/a few talking about breaking in.
All three were to give a yes or no answer to the question (did you
know beforehand?) and all 3 really had trouble doing that. They
tried to explain themselves, but fell short of knowing before the
protest that it was going to happen.
Dorsey of Twitter was the only one who finally said, "yes, I
knew there was going to be a protest beforehand and it may have
some violence". Of course he alerted everyone.....ha, ha, ha!!!
The other two talked around the issue and were never specific.
I'm not aware of any effort since President Ronald Regan to
exercise our Antitrust Laws. Regan took on AT&T and was successful
to cut monopolistic activity and let other providers into the
market.
Antitrust law is the broad category of federal and state laws
that are meant to keep business operating honestly and fairly.
Antitrust laws regulate the way companies do business-the goal
is to level the playing field in the free market and to prevent
businesses from having too much power.
If you remember from history Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company
was broken up into smaller businesses known today as ExxonMobil,
Amoco and Chevron.
What antitrust laws prohibit are acts intended to form a
monopoly by using unfair tactics. The courts use what is called the
"rule of reason" to test and determine if an act is unlawful. They
consider the effect of the business decision on the market.
In my opinion this should have been implemented when the three
big techs shut down the Parler website and tried killing all
competition. Twitter, Facebook, and Google CEO's meet regularly
spinning off ideas.
Laws and court cases provide more direction in anti-trust
lawsuits against alleged antitrust violators. The courts say that
certain actions like price fixing, group boycotts or group
agreements to control business activity in certain markets auto-
matically amount to antitrust activity. This certainly applies to
the big three Twitter, Facebook and Google.
They banded together to affect not only competition but fair
election activity. Definitely Twitter and Facebook are close to
violating the First Amendment (prohibiting the free exercise of
freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of people to
peaceably assemble and petition the Government for redress of
grievances).
Who enforces antitrust laws in the United States?
Representatives of federal and state agencies bring lawsuits
in order to enforce antitrust laws specifically, the Federal
Trade Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice (won't work with
Biden in office) and state government authorities can bring
lawsuits on behalf of the government. They bring lawsuits against
the companies that they believe may have violated antitrust laws.
Private citizens and other companies can also take action to
enforce an antitrust law. They can file a lawsuit in the appro-
priate court. When a person or company can show that they're a
victim of antitrust behavior, they can stop the antitrust behavior,
break up the company to fair competition, and collect damages.
Technology anti-trust is tricky, it involves the 1st Amendment,
but it could be done if Republicans in the Senate would take a stand.
Big Tech has censored Trump, suppressed Conservative voices,
actively attempted to cancel anyone who disagrees with them, got
rid of any competition by force, and lastly had a hand in election
integrity.
I have decided to take a stand against the intrusion of Big
Tech. First Google interfered into my personal searches and emails.
They deleted any political information in my emails saying they
only keep them for "3 days". BS! Someone wanted a copy of one of
my blog articles and, when I went to retrieve it, it was deleted
with the "3-day message". So, I personally canceled my Twitter
account, Facebook account, downloaded Duck Duck Go (security site)
and taken on a personal email address for anything that involves
politics on Yahoo. You might think of taking action this way.
If I could personally afford it, I would file lawsuits against
all three.
God Bless Independents, Conservatives and God Bless our
Democracy. May we protect and save it!!!
Thank you!
The things the liberal media, Democrats along with the Deep
State, for lack of any way to call them, to the American people
is criminal. I just hope and pray that we can stop them before
go beyond the point of return.
May God Bless America. We need Him more than ever before.
Conservatively,
