misinformation

Big Tech is being trotted out in front of Congress again.

The House Committee on Energy and Commerce announced the hearing will feature appearances from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.

The hearing, due to take place on March 25, will focus on misinformation and disinformation.

The committee chairs said in a statement: "Whether it be falsehoods about the COVID-19 vaccine or debunked claims of election fraud, these online platforms have allowed misinformation to spread, intensifying national crises with real-life, grim consequences for public health and safety."
