A look at Sen. Josh Hawley's war against Big Tech, which could portend the GOP's future approach to Silicon Valley as he draws bipartisan support on some issues
Emily Stewart / Vox : Tweets: @voxdotcom , @sivavaid , @recode , @recode , @freedaaron , and @voxdotcom Tweets: @voxdotcom : Facebook's biggest problem in Washington might not be Elizabeth Warren: It's a new Republican Senator named Josh Hawley. Josh Hawley, the GOP Senator from Missouri, says breaking up big tech “needs to be on the table.” https://www.vox.com/... Siva Vaidhyanathan / @sivavaid : “All of these companies have algorithmic bias, but the bias is not partisan. The bias is toward extremism,” Siva Vaidhyanathan, a media studies professor at the University of Virginia, told Recode. “There's a bias against boring.” https://www.vox.com/... @recode : Republican Sen. Josh Hawley calls social media a “parasite” and says tech companies are mounting an “assault on free speech.” He doesn't just want to rein in Big Tech. He might prefer a world where it doesn't exist at all. https://www.vox.com/... @recode : Republican Sen. Josh Hawley has positioned himself as an anti-tech crusader and is getting attention on Capitol Hill and in the boardroom. He's seen a political opening to attack Big Tech and he's capitalizing on it. Silicon Valley should be nervous. https://www.vox.com/... Aaron Freedman / @freedaaron : This piece shows why we need to elect socialists who are unsparing in their material critique of Big Tech, but don't engage in the dangerous conservative identity politics of rich, bigoted charlatans like Josh Hawley https://twitter.com/... @voxdotcom : “If you don't take him seriously or find him to be really smart, you're not watching the right television show.” Why Silicon Valley should pay attention to Josh Hawley's big war on big tech. https://www.vox.com/...
