House Republicans accuse Facebook of censoring posts at White House's request, but postpone contempt vote after cooperation from Meta

  • Republicans allege Facebook censored posts about COVID-19 vaccines at the request of Biden officials, citing internal documents.
  • House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan threatened to hold Mark Zuckerberg in contempt over the investigation, but postponed the vote after Meta provided more documents.
  • The documents show discussions between Facebook and the White House over removing specific posts deemed vaccine misinformation.
  • Meta denies censorship accusations and says it has provided over 50,000 pages of documents as it continues to cooperate with the probe.
  • Jordan could still pursue contempt if Meta's cooperation falters, which would leave prosecution up to the Justice Department.
