Big Tech UpdateOn March 25, the House Committee on Energy & Commerce held a hearing, “Disinformation Nation: Social Media’s Role in Promoting Extremism and Misinformation.” Big Tech CEOs—Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), Sundar Pichai (Google and its subsidiary YouTube), and Jack Dorsey (Twitter)—testified for more five and a half hours. The role of social media in the January 6 insurrection and the spread of Covid disinformation were areas of focus of this hearing. However, the issues raised were broader and the CEOs were asked questions about their business model, profiting from disinformation and the use of algorithms to target certain groups.
