(CBN News) Attorney General William Barr weighed in Tuesday on the subject of free speech on social media, saying he believes social media platforms are “engaged in censorship,” and are acting more like “publishers.”
“Clearly, these, these entities are now engaged in censorship,” he told Fox News‘ Bret Baier in an exclusive interview. He agreed that’s true in cases where social media outlets are censoring the president and his supporters.
“And they originally held themselves out as open forums where people, where the third parties could come and express their views and they built up a tremendous network of eyeballs,” Barr explained.
