He argues: "When the private actors are in bed with the government, doing the bidding of the government, censoring content that government does not want to see, taking orders and threats from them—and by the way, is immunized by the government by this special statute called Section 230—then, in that case, you can't have it both ways." They must either operate as a private company or be held to the "same constraints as the federal government itself. They have to be bound by the First Amendment of the Constitution," Ramaswamy says. Ramaswamy also argues that many Republicans have fallen into a trap by trying to use antitrust law to police big tech. Even if the tech giants are all broken up into small companies, they would adhere to the same ideological dogma. The most dangerous monopoly of all "is not a monopoly of products. It is a monopoly of ideas," Ramaswamy says. #Censorship #SocialJustice #VivekRamaswamy - - - 👉Watch EXCLUSIVE episodes only on Epoch TV: www.epochtv.com 🔵 Sign up for our newsletter👉 https://subscribe.theepochtimes.com/p/?page=emailtemp-atl1 so you don't miss out on our exclusive videos and private events. 💎Donate to support our work: https://donorbox.org/american-thought-leaders 💎Subscribe to The Epoch Times: http://readepoch.com/ Find out where you can watch us on cable TV: https://www.ntd.com/tv-providers.html Follow Jan on Twitter: https://twitter.com/JanJekielek Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmericanThoughtLeaders/ Parler: https://parler.com/profile/atl Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/AmericanThoughtLeaders Telegram: https://t.me/AmThoughtLeader Twitter: http://twitter.com/AmThoughtLeader Gettr: https://gettr.com/user/amthoughtleader LATEST EXCLUSIVE EPISODES: Conrad Black: Can the U.S. Recover from Its Botched Afghanistan Withdrawal? https://ept.ms/USRecoverAfgh1 Konstantin Kisin: In a Society Gone Mad, Don’t Be a Useful Idiot https://ept.ms/SocietyGoneMad1 Dr. Robert Malone on Ivermectin, Escape Mutants, and the Faulty Logic of Vaccine Mandates (PART 2) https://ept.ms/EscapeMutants1 Dr. Robert Malone, mRNA Vaccine Inventor, on Latest COVID-19 Data, Booster Shots, and the Shattered Scientific ‘Consensus’ (Part 1) https://ept.ms/VACCINEQUESTIONS1 Harvard Epidemiologist Martin Kulldorff on Vaccine Passports, the Delta Variant, and the COVID ‘Public Health Fiasco’ https://ept.ms/3CvM2NX Michael Shellenberger: Reports of a Coming Climate Catastrophe Have Been Greatly Exaggerated http://ept.ms/ClimateAlarmism1 EXCLUSIVE: Ex-Special Ops Michael Brewer on Heroic Rescue Efforts Airlifting Americans, Afghans Out of Afghanistan https://ept.ms/AIRLIFTRESCUE1 Johnnie Moore on the ‘Human Rights Catastrophe’ in Afghanistan and the China, Taliban, Pakistan Alliance https://ept.ms/ChinaTalibanAlliance1 Lee Smith: Botched Afghanistan Withdrawal the Culmination of 20 Years of Corruption and Failed Leadership http://ept.ms/20YearFailureinAfghanistanLS1 North Korean Defector Yeonmi Park on Communist Tyranny and ‘the Suicide of Western Civilization’ https://ept.ms/382FHeA Michael Yon: The Incentives That Caused a Global Migrant Crisis, from Lithuania to the Darién Gap https://ept.ms/3lYK0A2 Naomi Wolf on Censorship, Vaccine Passports, and the Reversal of ‘My Body, My Choice’ https://ept.ms/3l9ZSiF Dr. Robert Malone, mRNA Vaccine Inventor, on the Bioethics of Experimental Vaccines and the ‘Ultimate Gaslighting’ https://ept.ms/3yreBco Dr. Bret Weinstein: ‘Perverse Incentives’ in the Vaccine Rollout and the Censorship of Science https://ept.ms/3qIHezf Victor Davis Hanson on the Assault on Meritocracy, Politicization of the Virus, and the ‘Platonic Noble Lie’ https://ept.ms/3qtF2v9 Jaco Booyens: Trafficking Epidemic Fueled by Lockdowns, Police Cuts, an
