GOP Rep. Ken Buck Warns ‘Big Government’ Must Get Bigger to Deal With Facebook, Google

Colorado Representative Ken Buck, who is leading bipartisan antitrust efforts against Big Tech, warned Friday that Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Google are companies to be "very, very afraid of" and broken up.

Buck on Friday reacted to former President Donald Trump filing multiple lawsuits against Big Tech companies last week for attempting to "impose illegal and unconstitutional government censorship" on users. He appeared on Fox News on Friday to tout House lawmakers for pushing through a package of six bills last month that would uncoil anti-competitive Silicon Valley mergers and make it easier for users to move their own data from one company to another.

"I understand that there are my fellow conservatives out there that say we don't want to make Big Government bigger in an attempt to deal with Big Tech," Buck told Fox News. "But we have to deal with Big Tech because they are out of control and they are going to hurt America in the long run."
