- House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan subpoenaed the CEOs of top five Big Tech companies
- Requires them to hand over materials on ‘collusion’ to suppress free speech
- Calls out CEOs Mark Zuckerberg of Meta; Tim Cook of Apple; Sundar Pichai of Alphabet; Andy Jassy of Amazon; and Satya Nadella of Microsoft
Republican Rep. Jim Jordan issued subpoenas to Big Tech’s biggest names on Wednesday for documents relating to any alleged collusion with the government to suppress free speech.
The Judiciary Committee chairman calls on materials from CEOs Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, the parent company of Facebook; Tim Cook of Apple; Sundar Pichai of Alphabet, the parent company of Google; Andy Jassy of Amazon; and Satya Nadella of Microsoft.
Noticeably absent from the list of CEOs in Twitter’s new head Elon Musk, who became the owner and CEO in October 2022 after acquiring the social media company for $44 billion.
A source familiar with the subpoena told DailyMail.com that the Judiciary Committee plans to hold at least one – if not more – hearings in the future on government and Big Tech working in tandem to control or suppress online discussions.
The subpoena is the ‘first step in holding Big Tech accountable,’ but some of these CEOs could be called to testify before the panel depending on what information is revealed in the document hand-over.
