Matt Maddock, a public figure and member of the Michigan House of Representatives, posted several messages on his X (formerly Twitter) account on August 11, 2025. The posts included commentary on social media platforms and references to other content.
In one post at 20:55 UTC, Maddock wrote, “Kommies at FB won’t let me post this https://t.co/cJLpMBUwkT”. Shortly after, at 20:56 UTC, he added, “Tell your friends to move to X”. Later that evening at 23:01 UTC, Maddock posted another message stating, “Peacemaker and Lion. https://t.co/Axxq6GQzOS”.
These statements come amid ongoing debates over content moderation practices on major social media platforms. X (formerly known as Twitter) has positioned itself as a platform with fewer restrictions compared to competitors like Facebook. Maddock’s reference to “Kommies at FB” appears to be a criticism of Facebook’s moderation policies.
As a Republican state legislator from Michigan, Matt Maddock has previously voiced concerns about censorship and free speech online.
