Dear Neighbor, 

I believe the Big Tech industry is a destructive force in our society.  There are many examples of censorship and of suppression of speech the industry disagrees with.  In my view, the answer to speech we disagree with should always be more speech.  Also of significant concern, whistleblowers have provided data about the harm social media platforms have had on youngest users.  Yet, the industry knowingly profits off its young users without putting appropriate safeguards in place to prevent harm.   As a member of a task force in Congress focusing on developing solutions to hold Big Tech accountable, I want to hear your thoughts on this emerging issue.  Please take a moment to share your opinion.  

. Do you trust Big Tech as fair and responsible stewards of their platforms?

Yes No Unsure

Do you believe Big Tech censorship is an abuse of power?

Yes No Unsure

The Babylon Bee, a conservative satirical website, was recently censored by Twitter for sharing satire about a prominent member of the Biden administration. Twitter labeled the Babylon Bee's post "hateful conduct" and locked its account. Are you in favor of Big Tech targeting and banning conservative accounts like the Babylon Bee?

Yes No Unsure

How concerned are you about Big Tech's harms on children's development and mental health?

Very Concerned Somewhat Concerned Not Concerned Unsure/Other
