Wisconsin GOP bill goes after social media âSilicon Valley elitesâ
Freshman state senator Julian Bradley (R-Franklin) is joining former President Donald Trump in his crusade against private social media companies, AKA âSilicon Valley elites.â On Monday, he unveiled a bill taking on âBig Techâ with six-figure fines for allegedly censoring and stifling âthe free exchange of ideas.â
âFree expression is one of the most vital components of our democratic republic,â tweeted Bradley. âThatâs why Iâm authoring a bill to hold Big Tech social media companies accountable.â

The Senate Republican Twitter account ominously retweeted this adding, âBig Tech & their allies know if they can control speech, they can control ideas. If they can control ideas, they can control elections. If they can control elections, they can control you.â
Calvin Callahan (R-Tomahawk) began circulating a memo seeking cosponsors for their bill that accuses Facebook, Twitter and other companies of trying to silence conservative speech, in particular, and preventing “robust political discussions.”
“…as these platforms become more involved with political discussion, Big Tech has too often used its power to censor and stifle the free exchange of ideas, even booting users off their sites for legitimate political discourse,” reads the memo. “As a result, people all across the political spectrum have seen social media throttle and cancel legitimate free speech actions.”
The bill would force the social media companies to share their algorithms and notify a user if they censor or remove content, or ban a user. The bill carves out exceptions for content that is obscene or constitutes a “credible threat.”
