Majority of voters opposed to Big Tech's speech regulations

A solid majority of U.S. voters take a negative or oppositional view of Big Tech's speech-control regulations on its multiple social media platforms, according to a new Just the News Daily Poll with Scott Rasmussen.

Over a third of the surveyed voters, 36%, said the major tech companies — which would include the owners of social media giants like Facebook and Twitter — are "biased, and have gone too far in infringing free speech."

Twenty-eight percent said that such companies "have good intentions but don't belong in the business of speech regulation." 

Just 18% said the companies are doing "a good job protecting the public from falsehoods."
