Summary
House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan sent subpoenas to five Big Tech companies (Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta and Microsoft) demanding communications between companies and executive branch of U.S. government to understand how and to what extent Executive Branch coerced and colluded with companies and other intermediaries to censor speech. Microsoft and Meta have already begun producing documents in response to the committee's requests. Elon Musk-run Twitter was held up as a positive example of transparency.
