Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said he’s using the recent “Twitter Files” exposé series as a “road map” for investigating instances of political bias and manipulation in other big tech platforms.

Cruz, who is the ranking member of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, announced he is starting an “oversight investigation” into major social media and search engine companies and has sent a letter to TikTok, Twitter, Google, and Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram.
