Republicans who have accused the Biden administration of colluding with social media firms to trample on free speech rights on Wednesday teed up a resolution of inquiry requesting records of communications between the White House and the tech giants.
According to the inquiry, submitted by Rep. Andrew Clyde of Georgia, the request calls for President Biden to provide the House with documents or records relating to coordination between social media companies and the Biden administration on information, censorship and meetings to suppress or deplatform persons.
Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, Washington Republican, said that top Twitter executives were “shadow-banning” conservatives, despite former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey claiming otherwise when he testified before the House Energy and Commerce Committee in 2018.
