I've said it before, these platforms have served as core organizing infrastructure for extremist, far-right groups and militia movements for years now – helping them to recruit, organize, coordinate, and in many cases generate profits from their extremist content.

Accountability for all is so important moving forward, including all those big bucks folks who funded, aided, or took part in the coup attempt. Nail them all, whether big tech, chicken farmers, elected officials, or basement/bunker babes/bubbas. This must not happen again.

When the Fairness Doctrine was essentially abolished, so were standards for responsible journalism. Congress must strengthen the FCC, namely establishing standards, regulations, accountability for any information dissemination platform.

Sen. Warner I’m old enough to remember when the FCC/Fairness Doctrine had standards. We must bring those back for all platforms. After FD demise in 1987, Fox “news” brand, Rush Limbaugh initiated conspiracy theory as legitimate news & established path to today’s QAnon, Parler.
