The January 6th Committee is investigating the Capitol Hill riot and has subpoenaed major social media companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter for information. The committee seeks both public and private data to understand the role these platforms played in the events leading up to the riot. Social media companies are being scrutinized for not providing enough information and are now required to comply with subpoenas.
