The letter requests additional details on how the platforms are determining which posts merit the user\u2019s removal from the platform and ban from creating new accounts.\n\nThis message follows a letter Congressman Higgins wrote to the same executives on September 15, 2025, that urged for the immediate removal of posts and accounts that celebrated Kirk\u2019s assassination. This letter continues a fact-finding investigation to reveal how social media leaders use policies to discourage political violence and the celebration of death on their platforms, with specific regard to repeat offenders.\n\n\u201cI appreciate the responses from your platforms regarding content moderation policies and community guidelines in place to eliminate the celebration, incitement, and glorification of the assassination of Mr. Charlie Kirk. Although your platforms have these terms in place, it has not stopped the proliferation of content that has celebrated murder,\u201d Congressman Higgins wrote.\n\n\u201cI request the methodology your companies follow to determine posts that warrant removal from the platform, specifically for individuals with repeat offenses,\u201d Congressman Higgins continued. \u201cRepeat offenders should absolutely not be allowed to remain on your platforms and post celebration of death.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:52:45Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://clayhiggins.house.gov/2025/11/05/higgins-requests-additional-details-on-big-techs-response-to-charlie-kirks-assassination/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.1031967587769032, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
