According to PANews, U.S. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan has requested information from Apple, Microsoft, and several other tech companies regarding their work in artificial intelligence and any potential collaboration with the Biden administration on free speech censorship. In a letter sent on Thursday to the executives of these companies, Jordan stated that the committee is drafting legislation aimed at safeguarding American civil liberties amid advancements in AI technology. He emphasized the need for lawmakers to fully understand what he described as the 'nature and extent' of censorship efforts under President Biden's leadership.

In his correspondence with Apple CEO Tim Cook, Jordan specifically asked for documents and information about the company's interactions with the administration concerning content moderation of AI models. Similar requests were echoed in letters to other executives. This move by Jordan signifies an escalation in his efforts to address actions by previous administrations and foreign governments that have restricted the speech of right-leaning individuals and groups.
