At a House Homeland Security Committee hearing, Congressman Dan Crenshaw questioned Google and Facebook about their practices that unfairly target conservative websites and voices. He emphasized the importance of protecting free speech saying to the witnesses representing these companies "you do not have a constitutional obligation to enforce the First Amendment, but I would say that you absolutely have an obligation to enforce American values and the First Amendment is an underpinning of American values."
