Senate committee holds hearing on Big Tech censorship

Watch live.

The CEOs of Facebook, Twitter and Google on Wednesday will give testimony and answer questions about censorship before the Senate Commerce Committee starting at 10 a.m. ET.

Republicans have long been concerned about Big Tech's bias against conservative viewpoints, but Twitter's effort to shut down the spread of the New York Post's reporting on emails allegedly from Hunter Biden's laptop was the final straw, prompting lawmakers to summon the CEOs to testify on Capitol Hill.

Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act will likely be a large part of the conversation. The law gives liability protections to online platforms that allow third-party users to publish content – like Facebook posts, tweets and restaurant reviews – on their websites; this law separates social media sites from digital publishers.

Apparently Cruz eviscerated Dorsey:

Social media giant Twitter suffered a stock price crash of more than 21 percent in intraday trading today following the release of the company’s Q3 report. The company reported its slowest growth in years as many companies also bought less advertising on the platform at the same time.

Variety reports that despite beating Wall Street financial forecasts for the third quarter of 2020, Twitter’s poor user growth for the time period and an extremely uncertain advertising forecast for Q4 has caused the company’s stock to crash more than 20 percent.

Twitter reported a net gain of 1 million daily active users for Q3 totaling 187 million users worldwide, the slowest growth for the platform in three years. Analysts expected Twitter to report a gain of 10 million daily active users. The platform’s average daily users in the United States remained mostly flat in the third quarter at 36 million, Twiter reported a gain of 20 million daily users in the previous quarter.

Twitter reported revenue of $936 million in Q3, an increase of 14 percent year over year. This was an increase over analyst estimates of $775 million.-- excerpt, rest at link above --

Too bad, so sad.
