2 Southern AGs ask people to submit ‘Big Tech’ complaints

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — The Republican attorneys general of Alabama and Louisiana are inviting people to submit complaints if they believe they have been unfairly censored on social media platforms.

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall launched an initiative Tuesday that they said is aimed at addressing censorship on social media platforms. They put a form on their websites for people to submit complaints if they believe they have faced “social media censorship.” 

Some Republicans have attacked Twitter and Facebook for what they said was censorship of posts by conservative politicians and other social media users. The companies have said they take action to combat dangerous misinformation and posts that could incite violence. 
Landry said the reports will be kept confidential and reviewed for violations of state and federal law.

“I encourage all who have been impacted to file a complaint, and I hope this initiative will expose just how far-reaching the suppression has been,” Landry said in a statement.
