Democrats flip social media ‘censorship’ complaints on Musk & GOP

Republicans have spent the better part of a decade accusing social media companies of “#censoring” conservative viewpoints and #skewing their platforms to benefit Democrats.

Now Democrats are turning that complaint around, questioning whether X
— owned by an outspoken GOP ally in Elon Musk
— is #suppressing content favoring Vice President Kamala Harris to help former president Donald Trump’s reelection bid.

On Monday, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) called on House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) to 🔸“investigate political censorship” on X, 🔸

citing reports that the company’s #chatbot, ♦️Grok, falsely told users Harris was ineligible to appear on the 2024 presidential ballot. ♦️

The chatbot shared the false information for more than a week until it was corrected in late July.

In addition to the apparent restriction on the Harris campaign account and erroneous Grok replies,
♦️some pro-Harris accounts have been labeled as spam, ♦️including ones called “White Dudes for Harris” and “Progressives for Harris”

Nadler’s office cited 👉Jordan’s “extensive focus on allegations of censorship on social media this Congress.”

Nadler voiced similar concerns in a letter last month
after some users reported
💥temporarily being unable to follow an X account for the Harris campaign. 💥

Nadler wrote that if X was “intentionally throttling or blocking” the account, it would “amount to #egregious #censorship"
