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.
