Ted Cruz laid the case last year for how online service providers were the new secret weapon to systemically censor conservatives. Now, armed with new powers in the U.S. Senate majority, the Texas Republican is out to prove it for good.
On Monday, Ted Cruz’s Senate Commerce Committee informed a massive online service provider called Bonterra that it intends to subpoena it for documents related to its actions that deplatformed a prominent conservative group. The company, which is used by nonprofits across the country to help fundraise and manage operations, was investigated by Cruz last year for cutting off service to the Independent Women’s Forum over claims that it violated the company’s terms of service.
