Most Republicans readily agree they should use their forthcoming House majority to take on the so-called Big Tech companies that dominate everything from social media to online shopping.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer recently laid out the Democrats’ argument in favor of overhauling the measure, and it could collide squarely with the Republican quest to limit censorship. Sen. Josh Hawley introduced a bill in 2019 that would strip social media companies of their Section 230 protections unless they agree to allow a third-party review of their content moderation practices to ensure they’re politically neutral.
Conservative Justice Clarence Thomas suggested last year in an opinion that social media platforms should receive common carrier protections and the obligations that come with them. They also aim to go after self-preferencing, a dynamic that occurs when major commerce platforms, such as Amazon or Google, list their own products higher than other sellers’ products in search results. That gives the Big Tech platform an unfair advantage — particularly when, in Republicans’ view, the platform has gotten so big that consumers have few reasonable alternatives.
