Google is once again under scrutiny from Republican lawmakers, who have subpoenaed its parent company Alphabet and its CEO, Sundar Pichai, regarding alleged censorship and the company's communications with the Biden administration. The House Judiciary Committee's request for documents aims to investigate possible collusion between Big Tech and the administration concerning content moderation and misinformation. This inquiry follows previous instances where tech executives faced similar questioning, but the current political climate suggests a more serious intent to impose statutory limits on such collaborations. Concurrently, Trump’s advocacy for the Take It Down Act raises concerns over potential misuse of laws governing online speech.
The House Judiciary Committee has subpoenaed Google's parent company Alphabet and CEO Sundar Pichai for evidence of communication between the tech company and the Biden administration.
The subpoena specifically asks for documents covering communications between Alphabet and the executive branch, along with discussions Alphabet might have had internally or with third-parties about those communications.
President Trump has expressed interest in using the Take It Down Act, to eliminate any kind of speech he dislikes.
The ongoing antitrust case against Google continues to loom large, overshadowing its past relationships with the Trump administration.
