The Senate Judiciary Committee announced Friday that it will hear testimony from the CEOs of Facebook and Twitter on Nov. 17 over their platforms’ work to limit the spread of a controversial article about Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), the panel’s chairman, said in a statement the hearing with Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter’s Jack Dorsey will focus on the “platforms’ censorship and suppression” of the unconfirmed articles from The New York Post and “provide a valuable opportunity to review the companies’ handling of the 2020 election.”
The Judiciary Committee first voted by a 12-0 margin Thursday to subpoena both Zuckerberg and Dorsey. Democrats on the committee had boycotted the hearing over the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett.
Both executives, along with Alphabet's Sundar Pichai, will also testify before the Senate Commerce Committee on Wednesday for a hearing on content moderation, data privacy and media consolidation.

These hearings should be THIS week....since they didn’t happen last week.
Linda is just placating us, or trying to.
I wonder who made big donations to his causes.
Nope, nothing will come of this. Linda must have gotten good poll numbers
Lindsay .... underperforming again
They likely all donated to Graham.
the contempt they have and show for us is mind boggling.
The whole power structure.
Kill someone in jail, no problem.
block anything you want, no problem. We’ll put it off until after the election and no one will care anymore.’
and on and on and on
Kabuki
By that time it wont matter.
They should have dragged those Commie bastards before the Senate Judiciary yesterday. I would have the nooses hanging outside the chamber doors.
Why is everyone dissing Graham? These things take time. ACB is getting confirmed on Monday and then the Senators will want to do some campaigning before the election. Plus Twitter and Facebook have busy schedules as well.
There were prior hearings over the summer, and it did nothing. Arrest them, prosecute their chief censors, and break them up under the anti-trust laws that outlaw anticompetitive practices.

Graham ‘talks’ a good game but what has he done as a committee chair the last almost 2 years?
Linda is a swamp chameleon that should never be trusted.
Trump should have TwitR and FBook indicted for interfering in a federal election.
If Biden wins, it won’t matter a whit. Big Tech will just laugh in their faces.
Broken record
whatever..
Taking time? They have involved with anti free speech for years and it has been to a new level a year ago. Graham in an idiot and loser and a reason why we are being consumed by Marxists.
