At Wednesday's House Oversight Committee hearing, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) questioned ex-Twitter executives about potentially destroying or suppressing important documents.



The recent House Oversight Committee hearing that took place on Wednesday was a significant event in the ongoing discussion surrounding the role of social media companies in the dissemination of information and protection of free speech. At the heart of the hearing was a question from Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) to former Twitter executives about the potential destruction or suppression of important documents.

Rep. Jordan highlighted a statement made by one of the executives, Mr. Baker, in his written testimony. In the statement, Mr. Baker stated that he did not destroy or "improperly suppress" any documents at Twitter regarding information that was important to the public dialogue. Rep. Jordan took issue with the use of the term "improperly suppress" and asked Mr. Baker to explain what it meant.

Mr. Baker responded by saying that he was unable to answer the question more fully due to attorney-client privilege, which restricts the sharing of confidential information between a client and their attorney. He stated that his understanding was that the non-disclosure agreement had been waived, but not the attorney-client privilege.

The hearing was an important moment in the ongoing discussion about the role of social media companies in the dissemination of information. It raises questions about the responsibilities of these companies in terms of protecting free speech and ensuring that the public has access to important information. The use of attorney-client privilege to restrict information from being shared with the public raises concerns about transparency and accountability.

The outcome of the hearing and any actions taken as a result is currently unknown. However, the hearing serves as a reminder of the importance of continued scrutiny and examination of the actions of social media companies in the dissemination of information and protection of free speech. As the use of social media continues to play a significant role in shaping public opinion and discourse, it is crucial that these companies are held accountable for their actions and that the public has access to important information.

  Photo "Donald Trump" by  Dan Scavino Latest Statement on TMTG by the 45th President Donald J. Trump Last week, I announced the creation of a major new company that will challenge the dominance of the Big Tech giants and Big Media bosses. Today I want to explain more about what I am doing and why. For me, this endeavor is about much more than politics. This is about saving our country. America has always been a nation of smart, spirited, and independent people who take pride in thinking for themselves. We admire those who aren’t afraid to speak their minds, or go against the tide. Yet suddenly, we find ourselves being censored and dictated to by a small group of self-righteous scolds and self-appointed arbiters of what everyone else is allowed to think, say, share, and do. Nowhere is this censorship more dangerous and brazen than on social media, the public square of our times. We have seen renowned medical doctors being banned from platforms for contradicting “health author
