Big Tech is jacking up the price an extra $15/month for hardworking Latinos who watch Univision’s news and entertainment on YouTube. I won’t stand for it.

Spanish-language TV is the voice of Hispanic America, a tradition for millions of families and essential for daily news, culture, and updates in times of crisis. From hurricanes to elections, Univision and Telemundo keep our community informed and united. Google & YouTube TV must do the right thing: support that voice and not make it more expensive for our community.
So, let me get this straight—Google wants to pull Spanish news programming from its basic package and make those that rely on it pay an additional fee? This is very concerning for Florida Spanish speaking communities who rely on news for vital information. The deadline is tonight, and I implore Google to consider the ramifications and consequences of such actions.

Google/YouTube should not put @Univision and @Telemundo behind a paywall. Google shouldn’t be abusing its monopoly power by forcing millions of Texans & Americans to pay extra for Spanish-language programming. That’s not right & it’s not fair.

🚨Entirely agree, Senator Moody! Google is trying to CENSOR Spanish-language news outlets. Our constituents in South Florida deserve to access their news channels of preference without having to pay an additional fee!

Google/Youtube needs to come to an agreement with @Univision and @Telemundo to make sure their programming is not put behind a costly paywall, forcing many Americans to pay more for Spanish language news and programming.

No se equivoquen: Google quiere retirar la programación de noticias en español de su paquete básico y obligar a quienes dependen de ella a pagar una tarifa adicional. Esto es muy preocupante para las comunidades hispanohablantes de Florida que dependen de estas noticias para obtener información. La fecha límite es esta noche y le exijo a Google que considere las consecuencias de su accionar.

Millions of Texas, especially Hispanic families in Texas, depend on Univision for entertainment and news and they should not be punished by the corporate greed of @google. Repost this message or comment below to tell @google not to remove @univision from @youtubetv.
Univision is beloved by millions of Americans—including my own mother. YouTubeTV is set to remove Univision from its basic tier package, potentially forcing Virginians to pay more. Today, I’m urging them to keep Univision available on fair terms. My office will monitor the situation.

Don’t let @Google and @YouTubeTV turn their backs on Hispanic customers. Open letter from Luis Fernández - @luisfemiami, Chairman, @NBCUniversal @Telemundo Enterprises, to Sundar Pichai - @sundarpichai, CEO of Google.
