Ben Domenech is warning against the "dominant force" of Big Tech companies, in the wake of Twitters permanent suspension of President Donald Trumps account and Amazons suspension of Parler from its cloud hosting service.

"This is a situation that I think a lot of us have been warning against, on the right, for a long time," Domenech, who publishes The Federalist, told Brian Kilmeade on "Fox & Friends" Wednesday.

"They can undermine and they can behave in totalitarian fashions, in ways that frankly smack of the kind of approaches that weve seen in places like China and Russia," he added.

Domenech argued that Twitters permanent suspension of Trumps account @realDonaldTrump, which took effect Friday, was politically motivated.

"Thats something that I think we really ought to be scared of, when we see these massive corporations, the most powerful ones that have ever existed in the world, coming together to make a political statement, to cut off the most popular Republican in terms of vote that weve ever seen.Thats something that should bother all of us," he said.

Amazons actions against Parler will make the social media platforms operations "impossible," Domenech said. Amazon suspended Parler from using Amazon Web Services (AWS), which is a hosting service for the site, effective Sunday night. This followsGoogles and Apples suspensions of the conservative messaging app from their app stores.

Parler went offline Monday morning.

"When we talk about what Amazon did to Parler, its the equivalent of saying were going to shut off your power. Were going to shut off your electricity," he said.

"Its not just the same as saying, you cant have access to this platform or to this app store," he added. "Its making it impossible for the company to even work."

Domenech said legal battles over Big Tech censorship could rise to the Supreme Court, adding that he believes congressional Democrats would likely keep the issue at the forefront.

"Youre only going to see the fire, I think, continue to rise when it comes to all of these issues," Domenech said. "Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats in Congress, theyre not interested in pouring water on this, theyre not interested in tamping down on Americas tensions at the moment."
