CONGRESSWOMAN NANCY MACE DEMANDS ANSWERS FROM BIDEN-HARRIS ADMINISTRATION ON SOCIAL MEDIA CENSORSHIP AND INFORMATION SUPPRESSION

Washington, D.C., September 9th, 2024 -Today, Congresswoman Nancy Mace, Chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Cybersecurity and Government Innovation sent a letter to President Biden and Vice President Harris seeking answers on alleged information suppression campaigns conducted by the Administration, particularly in the lead-up to national elections.

"The American people deserve transparency. Plain and simple. It's outrageous this Administration continues to meddle with what we see and hear on social media," said Congresswoman Nancy Mace."In the middle of an election cycle, we cannot afford another episode of government interference that manipulates Big Tech at the expense of voters."

The letter is seeking:

• All communicationsbetween federal employees and social media companies concerning the concealment or suppression of information on their platforms.
• All internal discussionsbetween federal employees about coordinating with social media companies or any private sector entity to suppress or censor content.
• Details on suppression effortsconducted by the Administration from January 1, 2024, to the present.

The letter comes in light of new revelations from Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who disclosed that senior officials in the Biden White House pressured Facebook to censor COVID-19-related content. This follows earlier reports of federal interference in social media platforms, including censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story.
