House Judiciary Committee presses Google, Youtube's parent company to comply with subpoena

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan sent a letter Monday to Google and Facebook parent company Alphabet urging the tech giant to fully comply with the panel's subpoena for information about how it  colluded with the government to censor lawful speech. 

Jordan, an Ohio Republican, said that the company's compliance with the subpoena he issued in February is "insufficient" as more than 4,000 pages have been produced. 

The committee instructed in the subpoena for the documents to be unredacted, but Alphabet has removed key information from the documents, so the panel is also requesting to have those documents produced in full and for all future documents to be redaction-free.

The committee also said that it "has reason to believe" that Alphabet is not producing some requested materials, such as communications with other social media platforms and conversations outside of email.

"The release of the Twitter Files has shown just how extensively the Executive Branch communicated and coordinated with technology companies regarding content moderation. We are skeptical that Alphabet’s interactions with the federal government where pressure was applied were any less concerning than those of Twitter," the committee also said, referring to the explosive "Twitter Files" that showed how the federal government worked closely with Twitter and other Big Tech companies to censor speech against their narrative.
