The claims suggest an unsettling alliance designed to orchestrate online censorship, infringing on American citizens' First Amendment rights.
Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Jim Jordan, disclosed this development in letters to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray. The committee seeks to probe into the alleged cooperation between the executive branch and tech firms to suppress free speech.
