@SenMarkey

.@elonmusk could respond to my tweets but failed to respond to my letter by yesterday’s deadline and answer basic questions about Twitter verification. Congress must end the era of failed Big Tech self-regulation and pass laws that put user safety over the whims of billionaires.

Funny how he wants to regulate twitter now isn't it....

[SmokingJoe]

How does he propose to do that?
Dems won't even have control of The House in January.

[Anti-Bubba182]

Bleep Markey, NOW he wants to regulate when a new fairer owner takes over!

Ed: meet the 1st Amendment.

You dumbles are all about fascism and censorship. STFU.

Mostly Peaceful Memes @MostlyPeacefull · 15h Replying to @SenMarkey and @elonmusk So you conspired with an a journalist to create pretext to forcefully insert government regulation Tip

X Captain @Captain14403150 · 10h Replying to @SenMarkey and @elonmusk 💥Face it @SenMarkey we will NOT LET *CONGRESS GET AWAY WITH IGNORING or PLAYING DOWN - 'Sam Bankman-Fried's ... 🔥 CORRUPTION! 🔥 Tip Demo

@walkingtuna · 11h Replying to @SenMarkey and @elonmusk bad there wasn’t something really bad you could be tweeting about… Sam Bankman-Fried, CEO FTX, donated over $70 million in customer funds to politicians for midterm elections. The most elaborate case of fraud in history with many people involved.

Maybe they’d regulate it like they regulate the illegal drug trade in the US?

[CommieCutter]

It was already regulated before. It just wasn’t official and it was in their favor.

[RoosterRedux]

Markey and his ilk want to regulate reality itself...to censor anything and everything that is opposed to his ideology (collectivism/Woke).

He's leading from behind (i.e., pandering to his part of the electorate).

elon better do what markey wants or fedgov will make him

just what a fascist would say

[midwest_hiker]

I swear, D’s are like pimps when a hoe gets away. They scream and just want to bitch slap ‘em. You know, just to show the other hoes they better not run away.

“Congress must end the era of failed Big Tech self-regulation and pass laws that put user safety over the whims of billionaires.”

How dare he talk about FakeBook and Google that way!

[Leep]

I want to regulate Ed Market (D)

[escapefromboston]

We already have laws that regulate social media sites.

[himno hero]

You’re right, I think the fool missed the bus. Now he just wants to shoot his yap.

[arthurus]

Seems like a call for direct government censorship.

[metmom]

Of course, because that’s what democrats do, it’s who they are.

[eeriegeno]

how about working on term limits ed. would be better for the country.

[Political Junkie Too]

It would be an unconstitutional bill of attainder unless Markey wants to regulate Facebook, Google, YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, too.

This trash bag is just another butt hurt clown angry his personal little soap box is gone

Congress must end the era of failed Big Tech self-regulation and pass laws that put user safety over the whims of billionaires.

What strikes me about this idiot's statement is the continued idea that words are "dangerous" (presumably when he doesn't agree with them).

Stick and stones, etc...
