WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter Chief Executive Jack Dorsey both agreed to voluntarily testify before the Senate Commerce Committee on Oct. 28, the companies said Friday.
The committee on Thursday unanimously voted to approve a plan to subpoena chief executives of Twitter, Alphabet’s Google and Facebook for a hearing on a prized legal immunity enjoyed by internet companies.
Twitter said on Friday the hearing “must be constructive & focused on what matters most to the American people: how we work together to protect elections.”
The CEOs are to appear virtually. Google did not immediately comment.
