Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), published on Tuesday what he described as "bombshell report" about the active role of the government, several of its departments and a significant number of prestigious universities in social media censorship prior to the 2020 election.

Jordan, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, shared on X (formerly Twitter) several confidential emails that uncover the government's role in online censorship during the electoral campaign prior to Joe Biden's victory. The representative explained how officials from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) helped create a task force at Stanford University whose goal was to "censor" the speech of citizens disaffected with the establishment before the presidential elections.

The report details how the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) worked together with Stanford to "censor Americans":

According to the report, these communications, which were detailed in 100-page-long report, showed how "the federal government and universities pressured social media companies to censor true information, jokes, and political opinions."

Subsequently, the EIP presented this report to large tech companies, often with a "recommendation on how to censor" said content.

Jordan also explained that the House Judiciary Committee was able to recover this information from Stanford "only after the threat of contempt."

The Republican representative shared some screenshots that showed how citizens participating in central political discourse in the days leading up to the 2020 election were censored. Jordan's secret report has managed to attract the attention of Twitter's new owner, Elon Musk, who called the report a "big deal."
