Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter’s Jack Dorsey are set to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee, where they will face questions as divided as the nation, with Republican senators pelting the tech CEOs for alleged anti-conservative bias and Democrats for their platforms’ handling of hate speech and misinformation.
Tuesday's congressional hearing – the second virtual appearance for the CEOs in less than three weeks – reflects growing bipartisan pressure on “Big Tech.”
It also comes at a particularly fraught moment as President Donald Trump continues to use social media to make unsubstantiated claims of voting fraud and to contest Joe Biden’s victory.
Dorsey and Zuckerberg appeared before the Senate Commerce Committee alongside Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google parent Alphabet, on Oct. 28, to defend their companies against blistering attacks over the moderation of conservatives’ posts.
Researchers have found no evidence that Facebook and Twitter are biased against conservative voices or viewpoints. But during that hearing, Republican lawmakers alleged the tech companies engaged in politically motivated suppression of New York Post articles on the business dealings of Biden’s son Hunter in the lead-up to the election and warned they may strip away decades-old legal protections that shield tech companies from liability for what users post on their platforms.

@kn tlt they keep profiles even if you don’t sign up
@kn tlt and misleading information, shady business practices are also problematic
The disinformation nation. I remember when Republican politicians like McCain would squelch out conspiracy theories about their rival instead of encouraging it or actually producing it. Remember, back when they had some integrity and courage?

More lies from the Trump administration and his henchmen. Trump lost. 76 million people are done with the narcissism, lies, incompetence, and gaslighting.
Trump has the right to leave FB and Twitter if he doesn’t like how they are handling his lies.

*John 3:16-17
[16]For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
[17]For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
*1 Corinthians 15:1-4
[1]Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
[2]By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
[3]For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
[4]And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.
*Romans 3:20-26
[20]Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
[21]But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
[22]Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
[23]For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
[24]Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
[25]Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
[26]To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
*Romans 13:8-10
[8]Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
[9]For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
[10]Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
**Please, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and be saved. His arms are wide open to all who call upon His name, no matter where you live.**

Nobody’s talking about the elephant in the room.
If politicians stopped lying, they wouldn’t need correcting/censuring!
Zuckerberg spitted all lies during his testifying. Both FB and Twitter should be out of market. Zuckerberg and Dorsey should be seriously fined to payback to all the victims around the world for accounts being locked down and those supporting President Donald J Trump being threatened after Dorsey and Zuckerberg leaked their privacy information to rogues hired by Biden’s team.
Both Dorsey and Zuckerberg, the son of Satan, are well deserve for life time in jail!
What would Trump do without Twitter come on seriously … maybe he would take that time and actually do something!!
I don’t care about them
