U.S. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan on Wednesday subpoenaed Apple CEO Tim Cook and the CEOs of Alphabet, Amazon, Facebook- and Instagram-parent Meta Platforms, and Microsoft for documents and communications relating to free-speech issues.
Jordan and other conservatives accused the companies of suppressing conservative speech… “These subpoenas are the first step in holding Big Tech accountable,” Jordan’s office said in a statement.
Microsoft and Meta said that they had already begun producing documents. Microsoft said it was “engaged with the Committee, and committed to working in good faith.” None of the other three companies responded to a request for comment.
The subpoenas, sent to Alphabet’s Sundar Pichai, Andy Jassy of Amazon.com, Tim Cook of Apple, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, and Satya Nadella of Microsoft, demand documents and communications related to alleged collusion between the government and the companies to stifle free speech.
Jordan set a March 23 deadline to turn over documents.
