Ranking Member Nadler Calls on Chairman Jordan to Investigate Political Censorship on X

On August 12, Rep Jerry Nadler (D-NY) wrote to Rep Jim Jordan (R-OH) to request that the House Judiciary Committee investigate political censorship on X. Five secretaries of state recently sounded the alarm that Grok, an artificial intelligence chatbot on X, has been sharing inaccurate information about the 2024 election. Rep Nadler wrote "I am concerned that X will not take this matter seriously absent this Committee’s attention. Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon described X’s response as 'the equivalent of a shoulder shrug. Dismissive and detached.' With less than 90 days remaining until the election, we no longer have the luxury of time to wait for X to do right thing on its own accord. With such little time, we should not be in a position where secretaries of states—who serve on the front lines of our elections—feel that they have no other choice but to beg a recalcitrant company owner to take immediate action vis-à-vis an open letter shared with the press."
