The company cut service to a nonprofit claiming violations of TOS.
The Senate Commerce Committee has informed online service provider Bonterra it will be subpoenaed for deplatforming a conservative group. Committee Chair Ted Cruz of Texas said there will be an investigation into the claims that nonprofits were in violation of the company’s terms of service. Bonterra helps organizations fundraise and manage their operations.
Senator Cruz said, “I believe it is important that the Committee subpoena additional information to learn whether Bonterra blacklisted other conservative groups and to understand exactly how Big Tech crafts seemingly benign contract terms that exist solely to justify discrimination on the basis of politics.”
A prominent women’s advocacy group had its service terminated for alleged violations.
The senator from Texas added, “Unless we put a stop to Big Tech’s growing weaponization of standard terms of service, more conservatives may find themselves unable to carry out essential administrative work, harming the entire movement and depriving President Trump and his administration of critical allies and supporters.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Chair Cruz as he heads the Senate Commerce Committee’s investigation into the company unfairly deplatforming nonprofits.
- For wisdom for members of the House and Senate as they seek to protect free speech in the digital realm.
