Video: Sen. Wicker grills Twitter CEO: You allow Chinese officials’ propaganda but restrict Trump immediately

U.S. lawmakers grilled CEOs from Facebook, Twitter, and Google on Wednesday about censorship of content on their platforms, including that of President Donald Trump in contrast to foreign dictators.

Sen. Roger Wicker, chair of the Senate Commerce Committee, took aim at Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, saying, “Mr. Dorsey, your platform allows foreign dictators to post propaganda typically without restriction, yet you routinely restrict the President of the United States.”

Wicker pointed to China’s tweet blaming the U.S. military for the COVID-19 pandemic, which was left up for two months before Twitter added a fact-checking label. In contrast, Trump’s tweet about the security of mail-in ballots received a fact-checking label almost immediately, Wicker said.

Wicker also pointed out tweets from Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, which pledge to destroy Israel or support any nation that will do the same, remain on the platform and unflagged.

Yes, Dorsey, Zuckerberg, and the rest are lying weasels. Exactly what can the fed. gov. do about it?
Actually, pretty much nothing. They are private businesses. They can censor anybody they want. And I doubt very much they can somehow get them punished for lying to Congress. In their own screwball minds they are telling the truth. Except the truth to them is unbelievably warped.
