House Judiciary Committee Chairman, Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), is considering holding Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, in contempt of Congress, according to a source familiar with the situation. The potential move was first reported by Fox Business, with sources indicating that Meta has failed to provide any internal communications regarding its censorship processes.
In February, Zuckerberg was one of five tech company heads who received subpoenas from the House Judiciary panel. These subpoenas requested “documents and communications relating to the federal government’s reported collusion with Big Tech to suppress free speech,” as well as any documents related to content moderation measures. Jordan referred to the subpoenas as “one step to accountability,” as House GOP members increased their efforts to investigate Big Tech earlier this year.
Zuckerberg previously testified in Congress in 2018 in response to concerns that Facebook was censoring conservative accounts and content. When the subpoenas were issued, a spokesperson for Meta stated that the company had started producing documents. The Hill has reached out to Meta for further comment.
