February 15, 2023

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) subpoenaed the chief executive officers of Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft for documents and communications relating to the federal government’s reported collusion with Big Tech to suppress free speech.
 
The House Judiciary Committee has repeatedly attempted to engage with the five companies since last December. Unfortunately, the companies have not adequately complied with our requests. 

Congress has an important role in protecting and advancing fundamental free speech principles, including by examining how private actors coordinate with the government to to suppress First Amendment-protected speech. These subpoenas are the first step in holding Big Tech accountable.

Today's subpoenas require Sundar PichaiAndy Jassy, Tim CookMark Zuckerberg, and Satya Nadella to turn over all requested documents and communications by March 23, 2023.
