Barr talked about how the agency has ramped up efforts to scrutinize social media and internet companies during Thursday’s episode of the Verdict podcast with Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.

“There’s sort of a couple of lines being pursued. We have an antitrust investigation of all the major internet platforms or most of the major internet platforms, and that’s very much underway,” Barr said. “I expect to be making decisions in the next few weeks about actions on that. I think during the summer, we’ll see some developments.”

Barr turned his attention to social media companies such as Twitter, asserting on the podcast that “these behemoths have gotten vast, strong control over the expression of views and the public forum here in the United States.” He said they got to the powerful positions they are in through “the biggest bait-and-switch in history.”

“They got there by saying, ‘Hey, we’re going to be open to all views, you know, come join us because then you can have your views.’ So they built up this powerful network, very strong market power based on the representation that they were sort of open to all,” Barr argued, adding, “But then when they got that market power … and they’re now censoring views. And so we’re getting increasingly monolithic viewpoints being presented to the American people rather than the kind of robust debate.”

Barr said on the podcast that one of the proposed reforms is that social media companies will “have to show that what they took down they had reasonable grounds for saying it violated their terms of service” and they would “have to give notice and process to people’s whose content they take down.” Republicans have argued that Section 230 needs to be updated in light of claims that social media companies unfairly censor conservative content or ban conservative users.

The attorney general also touched on the violence that has hit cities nationwide the past month.

“We are seeing strong evidence of coordination in many of these violent episodes,” he said, adding, “a number of them are associated with the movement called antifa, but they go by various names, but frequently anarchistic.”
