Big Tech gets preview of questions U.S. House Republicans want answered
Representative Jim Jordan, who will chair the House Judiciary Committee next Congress, gave a hint of what is to come with letters sent to five big tech companies requesting information about conservative material removed from their platforms. In letters sent Tuesday and seen by Reuters, Jordan requested the top executives at Alphabet’s Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon and Meta’s Facebook provide any information they have about contact with President Joe Biden’s administration regarding “the moderation, deletion, suppression, restricting, or reduced circulation of content.” Republicans won control of the House in the midterm elections, which will give them control of key committees in January with the power to investigate and even subpoena witnesses.
