Facebook, Google and Twitter CEOs defend Section 230 to senators — 10/28/2020

The CEOs of Facebook, Google and Twitter will face lawmakers once again on Wednesday — this time to defend the legal liability shield that underpins their business models. For Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Google’s Sundar Pichai, it will be their second time testifying before Congress this year, following July’s antitrust hearing in the House. For Zuckerberg and Twitter’s Jack Dorsey, it will be the first of two sessions before Congress within the next month. The two agreed to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee in November after Republican members voted to authorize subpoenas.

Once they started editing and censoring content, they made their decision about their role. Section 230 needs to go!

thats not hacked materials, he abandoned the laptop, the owner of the shop is now the owner of the laptop and the content, and can do whatever he wants with it,

Twitter is doing voter suppression so is Facebook isn't it amazing they have a policy against this.

These companies need to be regulated into the ground

something odd about zuckerburg's eyes as well. with dorsey it is clear: dorsey is NOT in bright light which would make his pupils dilate yet they are dilated (indicating narcotics use in particular heroine, opiods ... opiods come from china). no one else's pupils are dilated during this hearing. as for zuckerburg's eyes, it is not something I'm familiar with; therefore, personally I would have to look into researching it but an expert of detection of illegal controlled substances (narcotics) may be able to pin point it immediately.

[karamarieoneil]

im banned for the same reason as jack did to ny post, but on facebook, you need to make zuckerberg to do the same thing.

[lanadarghali]

I am not a fan of Section 230, fact checker is suppose to be a third party yet Facebook is its primary donor. I then proceed to tell people the bias is unreal, and they look at me like I am crazy. Wake up! that alone should not be allowed.

[lindagraham]

what are they promoting on these platforms that when you go onto them, one's email becomes suddenly with masses of regular spam, some of which is pornographic and VERY IRRITATING & DISTURBING yet even when calliing google to block them it might slow down but then speeds up to the same volume or higher volume. also, what is the purpose of when going onto facebook of the owner of the account unrelentingly having to log in twice? to me, it is an indication of stalking, yet there is not even a phone number to call facebook about it.

Bottom line, social media and democracy don't and won't mix....
FYI....don't forget about the people with disabilities, it's a train wreck for individuals with disabilities and

Does the CEO of twitter really have a nose ring??...Barf! I bet he wears work boots with skinny jeans as well.

[Dorien-isfq]

Ted cruz you are a LAIR go back to Canada we do not want you here!!!! You are a Cuban communist just like Fidel

[lindagraham]

Repeal section 230 & hold them accountable.

[silverflake]

Revoke section 230...people should have the right to sue the big tech for being bias and suppression of knowledge.MAKE THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTION.

[okayyali]

Google the most misdirecting knowledges

[jimgaston]

Disappointed not to hear no mention of BLM or antifa or their rise through these platforms????

[smoisn-berry]

way to go! Thanks Twitter and on keeping on!

[rozhill]

How is it NO ONE said, "28, 000" LIES. From the "Leader" of our govt, this is UNACCEPTABLE. He should not be able to lie to our nation.

[ALBANIANFREDOM]

Section 230 must GO!
Globalization must die
We the people must win!
