Leaked emails from Big Tech execs allege ‘pressure’ from Biden admin to censor content

A House Judiciary Committee report has unveiled evidence of the Biden administration's attempts to influence Big Tech companies to limit specific content on their platforms. The report, titled "The Censorship-industrial Complex: How Top Biden White House Officials Coerced Big Tech to Censor Americans, True Information, and Critics of the Biden Administration," found that the administration pressured tech giants such as Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft to target "vaccine misinformation." This included censoring truthful information and satire, as well as the lab-leak theory of COVID-19. Some tech executives resisted the pressure, while others complied, adjusting content policies and censoring various types of information. These findings have sparked further scrutiny of Big Tech's relationship with the federal government and its role in moderating content.
