On Friday Brendan Carr sent a letter to the tech giants – Meta, Google, Microsoft and Apple and called out the companies on the central roles their companies have played in the censorship cartel.

The four page letter calls out the tech giants Facebook, Apple, Google, and Microsoft for participating in what he describes as “improper conduct.”

Carr wrote, “Big Tech companies silenced Americans for doing nothing more than exercising their First Amendment rights.” Carr accused the tech giants of “working in concert with so-called media monitors and others – to defund, demonetize and otherwise put out of business news outlets and organizations that dared to deviate from an approved narrative.”

Carr also pointed out how the tech giants were “participating in a censorship cartel that included not only technology and social media companies but advertising, marketing, and so-called “fact-checking” organizations as well as the Biden-Harris administration itself.”

Brendan Carr is serious about defending the First Amendment for Americans.

Carr shared his appreciation on X to President Trump for the promotion.
