Jerrold Nadler, the top Democrat on the judiciary committee, saw the supreme court’s decision in Murthy v Missouri as a direct rebuke of Jim Jordan’s campaign to characterize social media firms as complicit in censorship. “As expected, the Supreme Court has issued a stinging rebuke to Jim Jordan and his multimillion-dollar conspiracy theory fueled witch hunt,” Nadler said in a statement.
He continued: The Court concluded that the social media platforms ‘exercised their own judgement’ with regards to content moderation—which is precisely what we have heard from the dozens of witnesses that Jim Jordan has dragged before this committee. The Court also pointed out that the basis for House Republicans’ partisan reign of harassment against social media companies was inaccurate and outright false.
