Ron DeSantis calls for Google break-up

@ 2023/03/23
Too big and anti-Republican

Conservative governor and probable presidential candidate Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is becoming the centre of calls to break up big tech firms.

He claims that big tech padded a “woke mind virus” which needed to become more right-wing friendly or be broken up.

Big Tech behemoths are worse for society than Standard Oil and other monopolistic industry titans from the Gilded Age, he said.

He told an invite-only retreat at the ultra-conservative Teneo Network that Big Tech was too big and had too much power.

The Teneo Network is a new right-wing organisation claiming that it seeks to “crush liberal dominance” in Wall Street and Silicon Valley and was founded by Federalist Society leader Leonard Leo. It has already amassed a glowing list of prominent hard-right Republicans including Josh Hawley and Peter Thiel-blessed candidate J.D. Vance. Daily Wire founder Ben Shapiro and the heads of the Republican Attorneys General Association are members.
