Sen. Steve Daines sent a letter urging Senate Judiciary Chairman Graham and Ranking Member Feinstein to look into social media companies removing the content of political candidates trying to run for office, according to Daines' website.

According to Daines, these companies aren't following industry standards. He also highlighted that the companies' actions may be election interference.

“Recent events have brought forward a troubling pattern where social media companies have failed to follow industry standards, failed to follow their own rules or have changed their rules to justify previous actions. This pattern has overwhelmingly led to the removal of content or users favoring one candidate over another,” Daines wrote in the letter. “This raises serious questions of illegal coordination or election interference. With so much information pertinent to the upcoming election flowing through these companies, it is of paramount importance that online companies are held to the same laws and accountability as the rest of the nation.”
