As the Biden administration finishes its last days, one unfortunate truth revealed during the term was the magnitude of government censorship, particularly on the internet. The matter first came to light during the COVID pandemic, in which Big Tech suppressed viewpoints on social media platforms that they considered incorrect. Later, the “Twitter Files” would provide insight into the malfeasance and how President Joe Biden and his accomplices in the Democrat Party, Big Tech, and legacy media were willing accomplices in this censorship. 

With President-elect Donald Trump set to return to office on Jan. 20, he can work to ensure such suppression of viewpoints doesn’t happen again. While Trump has previously made promises to eradicate ideological censorship, he cannot do it alone. However, Mike Matthys, co-founder of the Institute for a Better Internet, suggests that he can accomplish these objectives by working with Congress.
