Sen. Elizabeth Warren blasted Facebook as having too much power and “acting like they’re bigger than government” after the company decided to uphold its suspension of former President Donald Trump Wednesday. “I’m glad that he’s not on Facebook,” the Massachusetts Democrat told Cheddar News. “I think that he poses a real danger. But I don’t think that Facebook ought to have this kind of power. We need to break up these giant tech companies, and Facebook is one of them. “They are crushing competition,” she continued. “And in cases like Facebook, they’re acting like they’re bigger than government.(Snip) Facebook’s self-created “supreme court” said

Heaven forbid that anything be bigger than the government, but I do share her thinking on Facebook. The sooner people drop it the better.

Business is suppose to be bigger than the government.

Yeah, busted clocks are right twice a day, too, Sen. Warren. Too bad you're not hitting that batting average..

When Facebook has gone too far left for Elizabeth Warren, it's gone too far left.

This pronouncement by Sen. Warren is a perfect example of powerful Democrats not even having to bother worrying about sounding arrogant, because they know the media has their back!
Notice she makes no mention of the peoples' FREEDOM of speech, just the government's supposed POWER to censor the people's' speech. Liz thinks only government should have that power to censor, but left unsaid is only when it is run by Democrats like her! The only time Democrats profess to care about the First Amendment is when they can pompously cite it, as they reveal security secrets for the benefit of our enemies.

Government should be a behind-the-scenes operation, quietly making things better for the people.. Today, its government all the time 24 hours a day in the news, and not doing good for the people..

What she’s really saying is that she would like to be able to ban Trump because she “works” for the government.

Not a big Warren fan but she really has nailed it here------obvioulsy a woman who realizes that it is Trump this week and who else the next...and next....and next! Interesting that she is glad he is NOT on Facebook, however---she can't have it both ways.....and I always thought SHE posed a real danger!

Never thought I would agree with her about anything, however the same should apply to the central government which has assumed all power because of self righteous socialists of her ilk who believe they are superior to the rest of us. Truth be known most of them have never had a honest job in their life, and contribute nothing of value to the country or the people.

Facebook does not have this power. Their platform is open to the public. If they ban anyone, they can be sued for discrimination. They are smug, and think their terms of service will protect them. Sue them, and let them find out.

That democrats say President Trump is a real danger when they praise BLM and Antifa, is the height of hypocrisy. I cannot tell you how offended I am when these nutbags dare to company and fine President with violent anarchists who have burned looted and destroyed cities.
Actually now that I think about it, peace and prosperity is anathema to the left so it does make democrat sense to revile and attack someone who has actually produced such uplifting results for the American people. When your goal is American destruction, nothing says that like the democrat party.

I'm actually surprised that she said this. Lie-berals love to silence anyone who doesn't agree with them 100% by any means necessary.
Conservatives, on the other hand, want lie-berals like Pelosi, Waters, AOC, Schumer, etc, etc, to be heard loud and clear as they spew their illogical, hate-filled, evil!!!! We want sane normal people to know what the Demon-Rats truly stand for, as it comes out of their mouths!!!!

Ooooh, nothing can be bigger than government, especially Communist, Leftist, Dictatorial, Democrat radical government. Now they are catching on. Information, manipulation of it, suppression of it, is the most potent form of power there is. It took somebody like Warren to figure that out? I'm impressed.

It's not that Ms Warren believes in free speech. To her way of thinking, the government should be the one who decides who can speak and who cannot.

Trump isn't dangerous. It's people like the fake Indian that are dangerous.

Fauxahontas is the same big government authoritarian gimp.
She is not outraged because this is blatantly un-American, she is outraged because she wants to be the one issuing the ban.

You could say Facebook is a bunch of Indian givers for revoking President Trump's account.
