“The public deserves the truth about how these companies moderate and possibly eliminate speech they disagree with.”

As some of the world’s largest tech and social media companies silence and delete accounts of those they disagree with, the Texas Attorney General is taking action.

On Wednesday, Attorney General Ken Paxton issued civil investigative demands to Google, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon Web Services, and Apple, wanting answers about their censorship policies and their recent termination and blocking of the social media application Parler.

“For years, these Big Tech companies have silenced voices in the social media sphere and shut down competing companies and platforms,” said Paxton in a press release. “It has only grown worse in recent months. And just last week, this discriminatory action included the unprecedented step of removing and blocking President Donald Trump from online media platforms.”
