Author & Journalist
I report on bias, censorship, and election interference at Silicon Valley's top companies, covering the trend from its very beginnings in 2015 to the present day.
My work includes numerous leaks from Google, Facebook, and other top companies. Published at Breitbart News, my stories have been picked up by Fox News, Newsmax, CNN, CNBC, The New York Times, and the New York Post, and referenced in congressional hearings.
My book about Big Tech, Deleted, was published by Hachette in 2020 and can be purchased here.
