for dictators and tyrantsfrom other countries

to communicate their messages freely.

"While these companiesshould be held accountable

"the current situation callsfor a different priority."

that we don't see another set of incidents

like we had last week.

Right now we need to calm the temperature

and get people focused onwhat happened January 6th,

let the investigation unfurl,

arrest the people that violated the law,

and then let's have a properdebate about section 230.

and other conservative leaders

want big tech companies broken up

after what they callsweeping acts of censorship

against Conservatives andPresident Donald Trump.

Bozell added, "Big tech hasdeclared war on free speech

"and is now an existentialthreat to democracy."

Meanwhile, Senator MarkWarner of Virginia calls
