Blake Masters, a candidate for the Arizona Senate who recently won the support of Donald Trump, appeared. Breitbart News on Saturday At SiriusXM this weekend, he outlined his plan to fight Big Tech interference in the election if elected to the U.S. Senate.
Masters grew up in Tucson, Arizona and is a former Silicon Valley venture capitalist. Senate candidate Breitbart News political editor Matt Boyle said Google was the biggest threat to the integrity of the US election and promised to use his experience in the tech industry to keep the company in check.
“I think we’re letting Google influence the 2020 presidential election,” Masters said.
“Most people in the U.S. Senate don’t understand how technology works, like me, they don’t care, they don’t know how bad these companies are – I know. So I’m going to use this experience to find a way to significantly constrain these companies and improve their behavior.”
“Twitter is by far the most ideological, the craziest left wing. But they are also probably less powerful than Facebook and Google, although they are powerful. ”
“You have many problems, one of them is censorship. It’s insane that Facebook and Twitter are allowing President Trump to be removed from the platform. He was still the president of the USA when he was overthrown! I think it should be illegal. We should treat these companies like ordinary carriers. We control them like a phone company – the phone company doesn’t hear us talk to you and decides, ah, that’s too conservative, these Breitbart guys, we’re going to shut them down. They are not allowed to do this. They probably want to do this, but due to their policy we do not allow them to discriminate against users. So why don’t we treat Facebook and Twitter the same at this point?”
“We will ban political discrimination. It’s a little easier said than done, but I know how to do it. ”
“The hardest problem is to take control of Google, because as you say, if they fine-tune their search engine algorithms… they will have a complete monopoly in the US search engine market. If they are thin, they can expand on Biden’s content, suppress Trump’s content from the weeks before the 2020 election, and allege election fraud. You know, I can’t prove they did, but wait, they’re smart, they’re motivated, they’re talented, so we have to find a way to call an investigative review. command to enter there. We’re going to push a team of software engineers – I personally oversee their work in the Senate – and make sure Google doesn’t fix the election in the weeks before anyone votes. ”
“I think if we don’t, you can do whatever you want locally, increase election security, that’s great, we need to do that, but if we don’t get access to Google, we won’t be free in this country. . and fair elections.
