Democrat Calls for Investigation Into X for Political Misinformation, Censorship


Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) wants the House Judiciary Committee to investigate why X's Grok AI is publishing election misinformation.

Republicans have long complained about alleged censorship on social media, from Facebook's Trending Topics debacle in 2016 to accusations of"shadow banning" on Twitter two years later. As Engadget reports, Rep. Jerry Nadler, a New York Democrat and ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, wrote a letter to Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), requesting an investigation into election-related misinformation being published by the Grok AI chatbot on X. Nadler wants information on Grok's inaccuracies, X’s current misinformation policies, details on certain account suspensions, and whether Musk sharing a deepfake video of VP Harris violates the platform's rules.
