After he purchased Twitter for $44 billion last year, Mr. Musk released a litany of files, dubbed the Twitter files, discovered during an investigation of previous management. These showed that the company had been in communication with sources as diverse as the White House, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and governmental actors in Ukraine. Often, these groups would request the removal of conservative or independent viewpoints that went outside of the official narrative, and in many cases, Twitter leadership acquiesced in the request.
Now, Mr. Jordan says Republicans have received a new batch of “smoking gun” files from Meta which prove Facebook and Instagram, both owned by Meta, censored Americans because of pressure from President Joe Biden’s White House. The documents also implicate others, including the office of the surgeon general, in the information suppression push.
“Never-before-released internal documents subpoenaed by the Judiciary Committee PROVE that Facebook and Instagram censored posts and changed their content moderation policies because of unconstitutional pressure from the Biden White House,” Mr. Jordan wrote.
