Summary

Just a day before Facebook extended their ban of Donald Trump, the former President announced the launch of his a new communications platform. This was latest chapter in the ongoing battle between "Big Tech" and conservatives, who feel companies like Twitter, Facebook and Google are censoring them. On The FOX News Rundown Extra, Jessica Rosenthal speaks to Tennessee Republican Senator Bill Hagerty about his party's ongoing effort to reign in the power of "Big Tech" and a bill he proposing that could put significant regulations on social media sites. The interview was too long and we could not include it all in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our full conversation with Sen. Bill Hagerty and more on why he is taking on "Big Tech." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
