At a contentious House hearing, Republicans accused Twitter of colluding with the Biden campaign to censor a New York Post story about his son, Hunter, weeks before the 2020 election. Former Twitter officials denied the claims.
"The decisions here aren't straightforward, and hindsight is 20/20," he said."It isn't obvious what the right response is to a suspected but not confirmed cyberattack by another government on a presidential election."
The hearing, which was interrupted by a power outage, followed the split-screen format that's become the norm when lawmakers grill tech executives: Republicans spent their time accusing witnesses of censorship, while Democrats argued tech platforms have not done enough to crack down on harmful content.
Greene attacked the panel for her ban and lobbed baseless allegations against the former executives. That included echoing smears against Roth previously amplified by Musk. Roth testified the threats that had resulted from Musk's airing of those smears have forced him to sell his home.Committee Democrats blasted the premise of the hearing, accusing their Republican colleagues of wasting time and taxpayers' money on a political crusade.
