On 9/14/2022, Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) questioned current longtime Meta (Facebook) executive (CPO) Chris Cox.

Hawley grilled Facebook Chief Products Officer Chris Cox about emails a lawsuit brought by Missouri and Louisiana turned up that showed the Biden administration colluding with Facebook to take down accounts of Americans who criticized or questioned the administration’s policies. In the seven-minute back and forth Hawley read from emails where Facebook staff and administration officials coordinated on censoring political speech that called Joe Biden’s approach into question. Cox did not deny Facebook conspired with the administration to censor Biden critics. It was an astonishing admission.

As Hawley noted, Cox’s testimony will benefit lawsuits in his home state of Missouri against Facebook or perhaps a suit in the Delaware Chancery Court against Facebook which, among other things, alleges that Chris Cox had knowledge of Facebook’s misrepresented growth numbers.
