Nadler Seeks Probe Over X Throttling Harris’s Account

July 24, 2024 Democrats, Social Media

Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., is pushing for the House Judiciary Committee to investigate whether Elon Musk’s X improperly prevented users from following an official presidential campaign account for Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday.

Nadler, the ranking Democrat on the committee, sent a letter to chairman Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, on Monday morning saying that “numerous users” were blocked from following the “@KamalaHQ” account after President Joe Biden stepped aside and endorsed Harris for president.

Nadler’s letter included screenshots of accounts on X posting that they received an error message reading “Limit reached” and “You are unable to follow more people at this time” when they attempted to follow the “Kamala HQ” account.

Read the full article. I tweeted about my own issue with the Harris campaign account on Monday.

I’ve been “unfollowed” from this account three times in two days. Curious, huh? https://t.co/UsnHwJbiSN
