Rep. Jim Jordan, Chairman of the US House Judiciary Committee, has subpoenaed Alphabet, the parent company of Google, demanding documents that show whether YouTube removed content due to requests from the Biden administration.

Jordan has long argued that Big Tech companies, including Google, have collaborated with the US government to suppress conservative speech. He believes that these actions constitute unlawful censorship, with YouTube allegedly playing a role.

This subpoena comes after the Committee's successful investigation into Meta, which led the company to admit that it had bowed to pressure from the Biden administration, adjusting its content moderation policies and promising to restore free speech on its platforms.

Jordan is now pushing Alphabet to follow Meta's lead and provide transparency on its own content moderation practices.

Google has responded by stating that its content policies are enforced independently, asserting its commitment to free expression.

However, the company has yet to provide a detailed response to Jordan's subpoena or the claims of governmental influence. Also, this ongoing investigation signals that the scrutiny of Big Tech's role in content moderation is far from over.
