Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), a staunch conservative and vocal opponent of Big Tech censorship, said she was hopeful about the direction of Twitter following the company’s announcement that it would accept Elon Musk’s takeover bid.
‘Today is an encouraging day for freedom of speech,’ said Sen. Blackburn in a tweet. ‘I am hopeful that Elon Musk will help rein in Big Tech’s history of censoring users that have a different viewpoint.’
