In these conversations, cases are evident in which the platforms censored information related to COVID-19 due to pressure from the federal government. They note that the Biden administration wanted to completely eliminate "vaccine misinformation."

Last year, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan subpoenaed the executives of several tech giants such as Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta and Microsoft to investigate their communication with and ties to the federal government.
Jordan commented that he wanted to "understand how and to what extent the Executive Branch coerced and colluded with companies and other intermediaries to censor speech."
