    EXCERPT:

    BUCK: "I don’t think just other members of Congress, I think other conservatives, other Republicans, other people in this country who have a conscience should refuse to deal with Facebook. Facebook is a company that has knowingly recognized the ill-effects of its product on young teenage girls and their self-image, seeing increased suicides and this body shaming that’s going on, they have recognized that their social media app is used for bad purposes by human traffickers and drug dealers. And if we continue to use products like Amazon, like Facebook, like Apple, then we're part of the problem. I don't want to be part of the problem. There are times when I don’t have a choice, but whenever I have a choice, I try to make sure I act in a way that is clear that there have to be alternatives, there has to be competition in the marketplace."
