Facebook has paused all donations from its PAC. Apple does not have a PAC, and Twitter closed its PAC in November after it lay dormant for years. The announcement called. Pledge for America, is calling on House members to refuse Big Tech money. The threat posed by these monopolies is a real and present danger to conservatives, libertarians and anyone who does not agree with these corporations ultra-liberal points-of-view, the pledge says.
