House Republicans Lead on Investigating Government Coercion of Online Speech Moderation

WASHINGTON—This morning, the House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government will hold a hearing examining the “Twitter Files” and how the government influenced moderation decisions at Twitter before Elon Musk bought the company.

“It’s good to see this important issue being examined by Congress. Threats to free speech should be a bipartisan concern, and we must ensure our leaders respect those freedoms,” said NetChoice Vice President & General Counsel Carl Szabo. “No politician or government employee should use their power to suppress Americans’ free expression.”
