A Senate panel will vote to subpoena Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey next week to testify on allegations the company is stifling conservative viewpoints, Republican committee leaders announced Thursday.
What’s happening: Sens. Lindsey Graham , Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley told reporters the Senate Judiciary Committee will vote on Tuesday on whether to authorize subpoenas to compel Dorsey to testify before the committee that Friday. Cruz, who chairs Judiciary’s Subcommittee on the Constitution, said Dorsey will be asked to address “why Twitter is abusing their corporate power to silence the press and to cover up allegations of corruption.
Key context: The social media company has come under fire from Republicans including President Donald Trump and his congressional allies for blocking users from an article alleging direct ties between the Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his son's business dealings, which the Biden campaign has contested.
Twitter has said it took steps to limit the distribution of the article because it violated policies about articles featuring hacked materials and against publishing people’s personal and private information. Facebook separately has said it limited the article’s distribution pending fact-checking by third-party partners.
Dorsey and Zuckerberg are slated to separately testify alongside Google CEO Sundar Pichai before the Senate Commerce Committee later this month for a hearing on the tech industry's prized liability protections.
Seems some are selective in deciding when or when not a subpoena can be ignored
Hmmm, will he just ignore it and not appear as we have seen all the presidents gang do
BevVincent These fuckers are so desperate and scared of losing their minority rule, that they’re willing to ignore actual, real-world problems to spend all their time and our money to find ways to cheat their way into maintaining their illegitimate control, while people die and suffer.
If Trump gets re elected Twitter and Facebook will be broken up and the American people will be better for it.
the gop are domestic terrorists grasping at straws
Awesome. I want to know why Twitter shadow bans my UFO Video Footage Twitter account! They're all at it. It's not just political, but UFO & UAP focused users get slapped on YouTube and Facebook as well. ufotwitter would be far busier without censorship.
I wish senators would pass a bill to help the american ppl.
So this is what Jack gets for preventing russian disinformation on Twitter's platform. Why is there such a rush? repubs are admitting this disinformation helps them.
Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and the democrat party has done more American election interference than any Russian ever did 🤔
