Republican primary voters by a large margin want action from Congress to regulate Big Tech giants, a new poll finds.
Wholly 85% of the voters polled agreed with the statement that "Big Tech companies, like Google, [Meta-owned] Facebook and, have become too powerful and are now monopolies that are destroying competition and abusing consumers."
MISSOURI AG TARGETS BIDEN, BIG TECH IN FREE SPEECH LAWSUIT: TAKING ON THE ‘BIGGEST, MOST CORRUPT INSTITUTIONS’ Respondents also agreed by a large margin that several companies should be split up. Seventy-nine percent of those polled agreed either strongly or somewhat that "many Big Tech companies have become too big, too powerful and too abusive, and for these reasons we should use our antitrust laws to break them up like we have done in the past with oil, steel and telephone companies."
On that front, 58% of the GOP voters told OnMessage that they would be much more likely to vote for a candidate that favors breaking up big tech firms than one who doesn't. Only 24% responded that they would favor a candidate that "believes that government should not intervene in the free market and leave Big Tech companies alone as long as they are not breaking the law."
