Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee spent Tuesday’s hearing chiding the CEOs of Facebook and Twitter for not stepping up their censorship efforts — despite Twitter’s unprecedented gagging of The Post’s account for two weeks and frequent masking of President Trump’s tweets.
Members of the panel grilled Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey for over four hours Tuesday as the pair face accusations of anti-conservative bias and censorship by the right and being lax on “misinformation” by the left.
They appeared to be unaware of the recent news that Twitter had slapped warning labels on more than 300,000 “potentially misleading” tweets regarding the 2020 election.
