The White House was urged to stop "suppression campaigns" on social media after a letter from Mark Zuckerberg.

The House Oversight subcommittee chair is requesting that the Biden administration provide any documents detailing their efforts to suppress information following Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's accusation of censorship by the White House last month.

On Tuesday, Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., who leads the House Oversight Committee's subcommittee on cybersecurity, wrote a letter to President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, urging the White House to stop any activity involving social media platforms.

I am requesting information on any information suppression campaigns in which the Administration is currently engaged, in the interest of good government and to ensure the integrity of the upcoming national election.

"Please stop engaging in such behavior and make sure that no Executive Branch employees use social media to pressure companies to censor content in line with White House preferences."

In late August, Zuckerberg wrote to House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, stating that Biden officials had been pressuring Facebook's team for months to censor COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, and had expressed a lot of frustration when Facebook's teams did not comply.

The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Biden administration in a 6-3 decision, rejecting allegations by Missouri and Louisiana attorneys general that the White House had colluded with social media companies to stifle free speech.

According to SCOTUS Blog, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, writing for the majority, stated that there was no "concrete link" between the plaintiffs' accusations and the conduct of government officials.

Zuckerberg's letter was seen as vindication by Republicans, who had long accused Biden allies of trying to censor social media content with which they disagreed.

In her letter, Mace stated that the disclosures occurred approximately two months prior to Election Day.

The political influence of social media companies is a growing concern as the Presidential election contest intensifies, and Mr. Zuckerberg makes a new disclosure.

"In response to troubling revelations about Facebook and Google's handling of information on the July 13, 2024 assassination attempt of President Trump in Butler County, Pennsylvania, committee Chairman James Comer wrote to both companies on August 14, 2024 to request further clarification on their decision-making processes regarding the visibility of this information."

Her subcommittee requested that the White House provide any records of communication with social media companies and communications between federal employees regarding censorship by Sept. 25.
