2020 is giving us another chance to watch Mark Zuckerberg and Sundar Pichai get grilled by Congress

..

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey hypothesize foredestined to testify virtually afore the Assembly Commerce Committee on October 28th, Politico reported Friday evening. Characterization that the hearing is live-streamed in some way, that ways you'll be bruiser to watch some of the world's most prepared people get melted by policymakers who've recently discussed irresolute the laws that let their companies grow to an unplumbed scale.

The hearing, which will booty place just six canicule afore the US Presidential election, will be the second major Congressional hearing featuring big tech CEOs this year; the Kennel antitrust committee heard from Pichai, Zuckerberg, Countrywide CEO Tim Cook, and Cheesecake CEO Jeff Bezos in late July. We learned a overriding of obsessing things from their testimony and the dossier released shortly after the hearing. It seems okey-dokey that we'll learn increasingly approximately how Facebook, Google, and Twitter operate based on what their CEOs say in October.

The hearing will focus on the liability protections of Section 230, dossier privacy, and media consolidation, co-ordinate to Politico. Many politicians hypothesize recently introduced legislation attempting to counterbalance Section 230, including a recently-introduced bill from Sen. Lindsay Graham and one from a group of Assembly Republicans introduced in June that temporized out.

Zuckerberg, Pichai, and Dorsey's authorizing comes just one day after the committee voted to issue subpoenas to the CEOs, though the CEOs again foredestined to testify voluntarily, Politico reports. Those prepatent subpoenas followed voluntary requests made last week for the CEOs to communicated for affidavit on October 1st.
