Hearing on Twitter Documents About Content Moderation Decisions
The House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the 
Federal Government held a hearing to examine internal Twitter documents 
concerning content moderation decisions made by the social media 
company. These documents were often referred to as the "Twitter Files," 
and were made public in December 2022. Journalist Matt Taibbi and 
author Michael Shellenberger were among those given access to the 
documents. Both testified for more than two hours on what these 
documents contained, with a focus on alleged First Amendment rights 
suppression by Twitter. Lawmakers from both parties throughout the 
hearing engaged in tense exchanges over the content of these documents.
