Rep. Eric Swalwell defends Apple and Google’s ability to decide what’s on people’s phones
Arguing for Big Tech monopolies.
Big Tech and its allies continue to pull out all the lobbying stops in an effort to build a credible narrative that says bills aimed at curbing various forms of antitrust behavior are bad for national security.
But Big Tech critics say that a more level playing field, once again allowing true competition and innovation into the US tech market, could only harm existing giants’ controversial business models.
Congressman Eric Swalwell, a Democrat from California, is one of those who disagree with that, as he is now particularly vocal in his opposition to proposed bipartisan laws like the American Innovation and Choice Online Act (AICO) and the Open App Markets Act (OAMA), that would result in stripping Apple and Google of their ability to strictly control (including through censorship) their super-lucrative app stores and give preferential treatment to their products.
Correct. He is clearly closeted gay.
Democrats Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) is under renewed scrutiny after Federal Election Commission filings revealed that the anti-Trump congressman has funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars in “bizarre” payments to a staffer.
Swalwell, one of President Donald Trump’s loudest critics, has pumped more than $360,000 in payments to a Haitian staff member, with multiple and conflicting explanations listed for the expenses.
The filings from Swalwell for Congress and his Remedy PAC, spanning 2021 through September 2025, show over 75 payments to an individual named Darly Meyer, an immigrant from Haiti.
The transactions range from $53 to more than $12,000 per payment.
In total, Meyer has received over $120,000 annually.
However, Swalwell has listed the payments under different descriptions in various filings.
Filings describe the payments to Meyer alternately as “security services,” “salary,” “travel expenses,” “car service,” and even “event flowers reimbursement.” ...
Who Is Darly Meyer?
Beyond his work for Swalwell, Meyer owns CYD Global Car Service, a limousine and corporate transport company based in North Hollywood.
The company advertises “luxury travel” and “professional chauffeurs.”
He also serves as an administrator of a Facebook group called “CaliHaitians – Haitians in Az, Ca, Nv, Hi, Or, Wa,” a self-described “progressive community” of over 3,000 Haitian Americans.
