Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, has deemed these releases the “Facebook Files,” and has promoted them on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. Jordan’s branding is an effort to link them
to the “Twitter Files,” a series of internal documents released by Elon Musk’s X this past winter that were extensively covered by conservative media.
Jordan has claimed that the pressure from Biden administration officials on Facebook — primarily in 2021 — rises to the level of government coercion of private companies and is a violation of the First Amendment.
However, court decisions in recent years have established that coercion requires the threat of state power. The lack of any specific threats in the Biden administration messages would make it hard for Jordan to prove his case in court.
