Many conservatives have increasingly criticized Big Tech over a variety of issues during the Trump administration, but Democrats have indicated that they too may take aim at companies like Facebook and Twitter during a Joe Biden presidency.
Some commentators within media have posited that a Joe Biden administration will be softer on Silicon Valley than its predecessor. There are a number of indications from high-level Democrats, activists and even Biden himself, however, that the next four years could result in a a more hazardous regulatory environment for Big Tech.
Conservatives frequently cite concerns like censorship of right-of-center views, warning labels applied to the President Donald Trump’s tweets and manipulation of search results or trending topics as examples of alleged political bias within Big Tech.
Some within the Democratic Party, however, say Big Tech isn’t doing too much, but rather too little to combat misinformation and abuse. While there are notable exceptions, large numbers of liberal activists have expressed a desire for more users to be reprimanded, more posts to be removed, and more claims to be fact-checked with the goal of creating a more reliable and truthful online conversation.

“ I can ’ t see how devoting our resources to counting cars in citizens ’ driveways or investigating how much turkey and dressing they ’ ve purchased if for the public good , ” WRGB Albany reported .

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo criticized New York state law enforcement for refusing to enforce the governors mask mandate, and refusing to enforce the governors mandate on 10 person limits for indoor gatherings, the New York Post reported.
“A lot of police officers don’t wear a mask … well, how are you then supposed to enforce other people wearing a mask when they see you not wearing a mask?” Cuomo asked, the New York Post reported.
Cuomo knocks police who say they won't enforce 10-person gathering limit https://t.co/mg7fBI740K — WGXC: Radio for Open Ears (@WGXC) November 18, 2020
The governors criticism is mostly in response to a handful of county sheriffs in the western part of New York who have responded by stating they won’t be enforcing the governors indoor cap of 10 people for the Thanksgiving holiday.

“I don’t believe that person is a law enforcement officer,” Cuomo explained.
“I don’t want a law enforcement officer who says, ‘I’m only enforcing the law that I like or think should be enforced.'”
Police Commissioner Dermot Shea explained on Tuesday that the NYPD would not be enforcing the 10 person cap for the Thanksgiving holiday, the New York Post reported.
One sheriff, Michael Zurlo from Saratoga County stated that he will not be complying and enforcing the mandate from the governor.
“I can’t see how devoting our resources to counting cars in citizens’ driveways or investigating how much turkey and dressing they’ve purchased if for the public good,” WRGB Albany reported.

The Las Vegas Raiders have placed several starting members of the defense on the NFL ’ s coronavirus list .

This is wild: Nearly the entire #Raiders starting defense is going on the COVID-19 list because of high-risk close contacts, but all are eligible to play in the game if they continue to test negatively, sources tell me and @TomPelissero. — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 18, 2020
At least 8 starters and others who play key roles won’t practice, sources say. Some will only be eligible on Sunday. All they have to do is get ready to face the #Chiefs and QB Patrick Mahomes. https://t.co/7CGaqbXtth — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 18, 2020

The good news here is that it doesn’t sound like any of these guys are expected to be out by the time the game against the Chiefs gets here Sunday.
