House panel moves toward vote on holding Zuckerberg in contempt over censorship investigation

The GOP-controlled House Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote on holding Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg in contempt over a lack of cooperation with an investigation into Big Tech censorship.

The committee announced it would vote on the motion on Thursday. The committee said the company has not cooperated with Chairman Jim Jordan's requests for information on the website's content moderation practices. Jordan has been leading several investigations into Meta as part of his role as the leader of the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.

The House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government held a hearing last week featuring 2024 presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy on online censorship.
