Ahearing on big tech, online censorship and election interference hosted by the Arizona State Legislature drew concerned citizens and experts to present their inquiries on the future of free speech and the state. From the response, it won't be the last time.
Last month it was revealed that Democrat Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs asked Twitter, now called X, to censor critics of a tweet she had posted while serving in the state legislature. According to Arizona Capitol Oversight, a self-described government accountability website, "then-Secretary Katie Hobbs and her government office engaged in an extensive campaign to censor her critics before and during her campaign for governor."
Arizona State Rep. Alex Kolodin (R-Scottsdale) said the allegations against Hobbs are just a part of what will be investigated.
