Posted: Wed Nov 18, 2020 6:50 am
Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter’s Jack Dorsey will testify before the US Senate Judiciary Committee.

They will face questions after the US elections that saw 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.
