A top House Republican indicated that Meta Platforms and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg could face a contempt of Congress citation if he doesn’t cooperate with an investigation into allegations that Meta colluded with the federal government to censor speech.
During an appearance on Fox News on Monday, House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) was asked by host Laura Ingraham about reports suggesting he is “strongly considering holding Zuckerberg in contempt of Congress” over censoring “protected speech” due to government agencies’ requests. “Are you going to really move forward on this?” she asked.
