Vivek Ramaswamy, a candidate for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, told Newsmax on Monday his experience with LinkedIn, the social media networking platform that briefly suspended his account, gave him some ideas about how to stop further censorship by Big Tech companies.
Ramaswamy told "Rob Schmitt Tonight" the problem was Republicans "conferred special crony privileges onto these companies for a very long time" that the companies concluded Republicans wouldn't go after them because they love big business and they could "get married to the Left," a group that used to be a threat to Big Tech.
"What's the right answer?" said Ramaswamy, whose account was suspended by LinkedIn because it said it violated the company's rule on misinformation. Once Ramaswamy made the suspension public, the company backpedaled and said it was suspended because of a "mistake" and it was reinstated.
