CBS News' Debra Alfarone has the latest on the hearing.

I think we’d all be better off with less social media. Twitter is a sewer of hate and intolerance— like one big clique of bitter and nasty people. I dumped Facebook years ago and I don’t regret it. Do something else with your time. Hobbies are a good start.

They're being sued from every direction for their corruption.

No matter what political side your on, having these huge corps deciding who should say what is scary to me.

Take a minute to think about how the public would have dealt with these people 100 years ago....

Wow! I watched the the Senate's questionings and this cover report of it gets a big fat "F" 👎

He didn't answer the question at minute 3:00 he just dodged the question Ann Conway style.... He didn't answer most of the questions. What kind of Interview is this? His answers are like a ride on a Mary go around so you forget what the question was. This is so

It sure would have been nice if these Republicans would have done their job during the impeachment trial and held the guy in the WH as accountable as they try for facebook and twitter.

[goldenpheasant]

Funny how now they pick up the story 🤔

[wilyoutubee]

I don't even use Facebook and Twitter anymore. Life is better, you all should uninstall them.

[nicklangarica]

We need to get off Facebook, and get in His Book

Side A: We’re being censored!
Side B: Side A’s not being censored enough!

The lack of self-awareness is unprecedented.

This expert in "combating online hate" is a triple agent lmao.

[mehtacotute]

Unfounded claims huh. How many tens of thousands of irregularities is enough?

[myaccount]

They "defended their handling of election misinformation...." This is supposed to be a news reporter?
