House GOP takes aim at Big Tech with parent's rights agenda
Fox News
House Republican lawmakers plan to launch rigorous oversight of Big Tech companies once in power with the goal of empowering American parents and families.
"I have heard too many stories, personal stories of parents who have tragically lost their children to fentanyl because of drugs purchased online," said McMorris Rodgers. "I believe that Big Tech needs to be doing more to crack down on this illegal activity and prevent criminals from exploiting these platforms."

The Washington Republican said her committee would hold oversight hearings into how drug traffickers and dealers have subverted social media sites like Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat to sell illicit substances. McMorris Rodgers said those hearings would look into drug dealers and how Big Tech is not doing enough to stop them.
