House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) is considering holding Mark Zuckerberg in contempt of Congress, the latest move by the House GOP to crack down on Big Tech.

Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, has repeatedly failed to produce internal documents requested by the committee regarding the company's censorship efforts over recent months. Jordan may move to hold the Facebook mogul in contempt as early as next week due to a lack of cooperation, one source familiar with the situation confirmed to the Washington Examiner.

The House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed Meta's censorship documentation in early February, along with four other Big Tech companies, shortly after Republicans took the majority in the 2022 midterm elections. Jordan has been targeting Big Tech companies and their collusions with the federal government since serving in the minority.

The Ohio Republican was specifically seeking communications between the five companies and federal agencies about content moderation decisions made concerning COVID-19. In May, Jordan followed up with Zuckerberg, stating that the information that Meta provided to the committee was insufficient and failed to comply with the subpoena.

"Meta’s rolling productions to date have not included material the Committee knows is, or has reason to believe may be, in the company’s possession and that is responsive to the subpoena … If Meta fails to comply in full with the subpoena’s demands, the Committee may be forced to consider the use of one or more enforcement mechanisms," Jordan wrote in the May letter.

Meta said in a statement to Fox Business that the company complied and sent the committee thousands of documents.

"We have shared over 50,000 pages of documents in response to the committee’s request and have made nearly a dozen current and former employees available to discuss external and internal issues. We look forward to continuing to work with the committee moving forward."

Holding Zuckerberg in contempt of Congress would come after the social media mogul expanded his platforms and introduced "Threads," a new app similar to Twitter that connects to an Instagram user's account. Zuckerberg said there were 2 million signups for the app within two hours of its launch.

Jordan wrote to Zuckerberg expressing concern over the Threads app in a separate letter on Monday, unrelated to the censorship investigation.

"Given that Meta has censored First Amendment-protected speech as a result of government agencies' requests and demands in the past, the Committee is concerned about potential First Amendment violations that have occurred or will occur on the Threads platform," Jordan said.
