House Republicans have launched an investigation into Twitter and Facebook after new reports surfaced about Hunter Biden’s laptop.
In letters posted on Twitter, 10 Republicans, led by Rep. Jim Jordan, the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, wrote to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Parag Agrawal, Twitter's CEO. Both letters cited a 2020 article in the New York Post about the Biden laptop.
The letter to Zuckerberg said: "Shortly before the 2020 election, Facebook suppressed an explosive New York Post article detailing how Hunter Biden used the position and influence of his father, now-President [Joe] Biden, for personal gain, with the apparent awareness of President Biden.
"We wrote to Facebook at the time with important questions about Facebook’s knowing suppression of First Amendment protected activity. Facebook ignored our letter and, in the months since, has avoided any meaningful accountability for its actions.
"Now, with even The New York Times confirming the accuracy of the Post’s reporting, we are investigating Facebook’s actions to interfere in free and fair election-related public discourse on its platform to the benefit of President Biden and the determinant of former President [Donald] Trump."
The letter says Facebook censored the Post article even though it "concerned a topic of importance to many voters in the run-up to the election."
The Republicans claim that soon after the Post article was published, Facebook’s policy communications director announced that Facebook was "reducing its distribution in our platform."

I hope they crush Zuckerberg in 2023 House hearings.
Fine them billions and then break them up.
Wasn’t there a law or something Trump was going to take away from them so they didn’t have certain rights or something.
House R’s won’t do squat.
Neat, they are getting around to looking at what happened two years ago. They have lowered our expectations so much that many will get excited by this.
We need an FEC that will investigate FB’s political contributions in kind, that or President Trump #47 needs to shut down the FEC, along with a host of other alphabets.

Probe (Pro - Buh)
A fruitless waste of taxpayer dollars, usually used to feign interest in rooting out corrupt criminal activity in which the probers are participants.
Jim Jordan has a wonderful memory. He’s excellent at memorizing salient talking points and repeating them flawlessly on various Fox news shows. That’s it.
What investigation do they need? I’ll tell you: Logon to FR and read. It was all well documented RIGHT HERE.
As long as the AG’s office remains under control of the Biden administration, and as long as the democrats control congress, or as long as democrats can block any legal actions against the social media companies, NOTHING WILL HAPPEN to make them change their ways.
Take that to the bank.
Where the hell have they been? Did someone wake them up by mistake?
Brings up a vision of Barney Fife probing his pocket to find his bullet so he can load his gun long after the deed is done.
Good.
Break
Them
Up
!!!!!!
They had to wait for the New York Times to state the obvious about the laptop before doing anything.
They just need to order to CIA to shut down Facebook and Twitter while demanding full financial disclosure of profits, expenses and use politically inside the and abroad.
Why are you easting time posting about Hunter Biden? Don’t you realize that 18K illegals are crossing the border every day?
Hush Neocon.
