| AG Sessions to Examine Antitrust Violations, Censorship by Tech Corps. |
| 2018-09-07 |
| h/t Instapundit ...U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions will meet with state attorneys general later this month to discuss concerns that tech companies "may be hurting competition and intentionally stifling the free exchange of ideas on their platforms," the Department of Justice said in a statement Wednesday. The proposed meeting between the country's top prosecutor and state officials is the first major signal of potential antitrust action against Silicon Valley and follows recent claims by President Donald Trump of political bias and censorship by major social media firms. |

| #5 Here's a solution: make the officers and directors of google personally libel for politically partisan acts of censorship. They will of course insist on getting insurance to cover this, and the underwriters of that insurance will demand steps, such as bipartisan agreement before censorship or firing of those underlings who misbehave, and no such details need be dealt with by the government. |

| #4 A lot of people are turning on the phones only if the are going to make a call. If they leave their phone on and don't recognize the number they don't answer. The are telling people if they want to contact them use Email. The industry is killing their golden goose. |

| #3 Classify them as a common carrier. Subject them to existing regulations. They get to censor as much as the phone company can censor. Pardon me, I have to answer another robo-call even though I'm on the 'Do Not Call' list with the state and feds. |

| #2 Probably the only thing Sessions can do to hold off the current conservative lynch mob. |
