Latta Statement on Zuckerberg Letter Citing Government Pressure to Silence American Voices

Congressman Bob Latta (R-OH5) today released the following statement after Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, outlined in a letter that the Biden-Harris administration pressured Meta to silence differing voices and opinions on the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as information on Hunter Biden and the Biden family:

"Mark Zuckerberg’s letter outlining that the Biden-Harris administration pressured Meta to silence differing voices and opinions on the COVID-19 pandemic and information on Hunter Biden and the Biden family is damning. This is a gross abuse of power by this administration, and we must do everything we can to preserve our First Amendment rights. 

"The House Energy & Commerce Committee has been sounding the alarm on Big Tech’s unbridled power for years. Now that this information has come to light, we must examine what policies have allowed Big Tech companies, like Meta, to censor viewpoints and hold this administration accountable for silencing the voices of the American people."
