Nov. 17 (UPI) — Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey will testify in the Senate on Tuesday to answer questions about how their social platforms handled the spread of information during the 2020 election campaign.
Both platforms took steps to curb the spread of misinformation for weeks and months before Election Day, some of which were criticized by both Democratic and Republican supporters.
Zuckerberg and Dorsey will answer questions from the Senate judiciary committee, beginning at 10 a.m. EST Tuesday. The panel hearing is titled, “Censorship, Suppression and the 2020 election.”
The pair is expected to be questioned about how their platforms moderate content and how their strategies intersected with the 2020 campaign.
