Unlike Steven Mnuchin, the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, former congressman Ron Paul isn't against big tech, but said it is mostly an issue "when bigness comes from benefits from government."
"Yes, they're too big, but I don't think I approach it the same way [Mnuchin] does, because I think if a company is big because it produces and the people like it and they reward that company, and even if it gets very big, there's nothing wrong with that," Paul told Kitco News. "Some of the [social media companies] are big because they've had advantages from the government."
