YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThis week on Moment of Truth, Nick sits down with tech policy expert Joel Thayer to dissect Big Tech's power, past abuses, and the path forward under the Trump administration.
They revisit landmark censorship moments—like the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story, Parler's deplatforming, and Trump's ban from major platforms—and warn against forgetting these violations of free expression. Thayer highlights conservative antitrust efforts by figures like Senators Blackburn, Hawley, Lee, and Grassley, praises key Trump-era actions (FCC Section 230 review, DOJ Google probe), and credits carryover wins in the Biden years.
They critique Big Tech's China entanglements, mass layoffs of American workers, reliance on foreign labor, and profit-driven amorality. The conversation explores agency roles (FTC, DOJ, FCC, NTIA), the need for America First priorities, and skepticism toward Big Tech's recent "turn" toward conservatives.
Remember, Big Tech is not your friend.
