Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) threatened to regulate far left social media giants Facebook, Twitter as well as Google on Wednesday in the Senate Judiciary Committee.

In his opening statement Senator Cruz asked the far left tech giants, “What makes the threat of political censorship so problematic is the lack of transparency–the invisibility. The ability for a handful of giant tech companies to decide if a particular speaker is disfavored.”

During his remarks Cruz asked Twitter’s Director of Public Policy and Philanthropy, Carlos Monje, why Twitter blocked a pro-life quote from Mother Teresa. Cruz then asked both Monje and Facebook’s Public Policy Director, Neil Potts, whether they considered Mother Teresa to be a hate figure.

The tweet in question was posted on a pro-life site.

Twitter, Facebook and Google are notorious for blacklisting and censoring conservative publishers and users.

On Monday The Gateway Pundit reported on evidence Google was blaklisting The Gateway Pundit and other top conservative websites.

This is criminal behavior.
