As of 5 p.m. PT on Oct. 14, Biden had the most ads of any candidate removed; Facebook took down at least 117 ads, which were mostly focused on the Trump impeachment effort. https://t.co/xzuiMbu9qo

"As usual, Senator Warren is 100% in diagnosing the problem," says @AndrewYang before criticizing her plan to break up big tech as a way to regulate technology companies & protect privacy.

Nearly two-thirds of Americans would support breaking up tech firms by undoing recent mergers, such as Facebook’s acquisition of Instagram, if it means ensuring more competition in the future. #DemDebate https://t.co/FPFynOHTaH

YANG, on tech companies: 'We also have to be realistic that competition doesn't solve all of the problems... breaking up tech companies doesn't make our kids healthier... we need new solutions and a new tool kit.' #DemDebate pic.twitter.com/qOJD6LgRrm

Four years ago, technology companies were widely seen as having a positive impact on the United States. But the share of Americans who hold this view has tumbled 21 percentage points since then, from 71% to 50%. https://t.co/zXp6pHHLmb #DemDebate

I’m not willing to give up and let a handful of monopolies dominate our economy and our democracy. You get to be the umpire in the baseball game or you get to be a team—but you can’t be both. It’s time to #BreakUpBigTech. #DemDebate https://t.co/xm19NnWn6Z

Tom Steyer wasn't wrong there. Talking about tech breakups isn't a thing for 2020. It's important, needs to be done, but this isn't the thing that gets you to 270.#DemDebate

We have a massive crisis in our democracy with the way big tech companies are being used, not just in terms of anti-competitive practices, but also to undermine our democracy. The practices that were abused in 2016 still haven’t been addressed. #DemDebate

.@AndrewYang on big tech: “The best way we can fight back against big tech is saying our data is our property. Right now our data is worth more than oil. How many of you remember getting your data check in the mail??” #DemDebate

Here is the thing that no one inside or outside Facebook wants to admit: Facebook’s ad system, even just within the United States, is massive and cumbersome. Facebook is not competent enough to enforce its own rules. https://t.co/ZLgzm4rlVb via @RMac18

Facebook: Well broadcasters have to run them so https://t.co/ud8JyzWbcO
Big tech giants are able to use their power to limit competition and undermine small businesses. You get to be the umpire or you get to have a team in the game—but you don't get to do both at the same time. We need to #BreakUpBigTech. #DemDebate pic.twitter.com/c1p7oX0qtf

Trump's tweets incite violence, threaten witnesses, and obstruct justice. We can't crack down on Facebook but turn a blind eye to Twitter. Big tech companies must be held accountable for how they allow him to abuse their platforms. #DemDebate

Last night's #DemDebate showed most Democratic candidates still lagging on how to fix the huge concentration in the tech industry. Choice and innovation are stifled by giants like Facebook, Google & Amazon.

Last night was the first time tech was discussed meaningfully on the #DemBebate stage — and a sign that the media sees the growing techlash as enough of a concern that candidates should be pressed on it on national television. @teddyschleifer reports: https://t.co/EsNX0BoTz0
