                          BIG TECH CENSORSHIP

  (Mr. LaMALFA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaMALFA. Mr. Speaker, in 2019, Hunter Biden foolishly abandoned a 
laptop at a computer repair store, a laptop that revealed Joe Biden was 
fully aware of his son's foreign corrupt business dealings. Not only 
that, but Hunter's business also profited President Biden financially 
and influenced foreign policy.
  But the American people weren't allowed to know this before electing 
Joe Biden to the Presidency. Why? Because Twitter, one of the most 
influential distributors of content in the world, deliberately and 
arbitrarily suppressed news coverage to suit the political persuasions 
of its employees.
  We have undeniable proof that Big Tech censored bad press for the 
Biden administration right before the 2020 election and may have even 
profited from doing so. This despicable collusion between liberal 
politics and social media, put on full display in the Twitter files, 
must end.
  Informed voters, not biased Twitter truth manipulators, must decide 
the outcomes of elections.
  We will never know how many voters would have changed their mind if 
they knew of the corruption of the Biden family and their activities. 
Suppression of information is the real threat to our republic, not 
asking questions.
  Now that Republicans are back in the majority in the House, we will 
investigate this interference and hold Big Tech, the FBI, and the Biden 
family accountable.
