The US House Judiciary Committee’s investigation into suspected collusion between the government and Big Tech to censor speech has been expanded to include the case involving an FBI whistleblower.
The whistleblower, Marcus Allen, was interviewed by the nonprofit Catholics for Catholics in a video uploaded to YouTube last month – only to swiftly get blocked.
Now the Committee’s Chairman Jim Jordan wants YouTube owner Alphabet (Google) and its CEO Sundar Pichai to explain what exactly happened, and why. In a letter, Jordan also noted that Allen was one of the witnesses before the Committee’s Select Subcommittee looking into the alleged collusion.
Allen testified before Congress and managed to get the FBI to restore his security clearance, which was thought to have been revoked by the agency as a retaliatory measure.
