Senate Republicans say the Judiciary Committee will issue a subpoena to Jack Dorsey about Twitter's blocking of a New York Post article
U.S. Senator Josh Hawley has formally requested @Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and @Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to appear before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism in a coming hearing titled “Digital Platforms and Election Interference.” https://twitter.com/... @cspan : Sen. @tedcruz: “Twitter is actively blocking, right now this instant, stories from the New York Post...on Tuesday, the Judiciary Committee, the full committee, will be voting on subpoenas to subpoena @Jack Dorsey to come before our committee.” https://twitter.com/... Matthew Keys / @matthewkeyslive : Senate Republicans plan to issue a subpoena to Twitter's chief executive Jack Dorsey over the social media company's blocking of a newspaper article because apparently our elected officials have nothing better to do. https://www.theverge.com/... Joshua Wright / @profwrightgmu : I trust the Senator is aware he wrote this on @twitter, not @facebook? This is the equivalent of complaining about the Kroger monopoly while checking out at Safeway. https://twitter.com/... Michael Nielsen / @michael_nielsen : Something I find fascinating is when people say something (a) high profile; (b) obviously wrong; (c) lots of people point out in comments that it's wrong; and (d) they don't delete or correct or back down. I'd like to better understand what mental models lead to point (d). https://twitter.com/... @wolven : And when it was absolutely shown how Facebook's operations led and still lead to election interference, & they were called to task for it, Republicans cried “censorship” about that TOO. Republican motto continues to be “it's only called ‘cheating’ if it doesn't help repubs win.” https://twitter.com/... Mike Elgan / @mikeelgan : This is great and I hope it happens. Those Fox-News swilling jerks will have to hear facts about what's actually going on. https://twitter.com/... CJ Ciaramella / @cjciaramella : Please Mr. Zuckerberg, if I don't post, I'll die. https://twitter.com/... Harmeet K. Dhillon / @pnjaban : As I told @Varneyco this morning, these dog and pony shows on Capitol Hill are useless: The move by GOP lawmakers on the Senate Judiciary Committee follows the social-media platform's decision to limit sharing of articles relating to the Bidens https://www.wsj.com/... via @WSJ Fr. Robert R. Ballecer / @padresj : The @GOP won't investigate the STORY itself b/c it's a laughable attempt at election interference. Instead they want to investigate those who blocked it on their networks as a “laughable attempt at election interference.” IOW: “It's BS, but it's OUR BS” https://www.wsj.com/... Thaddeus E. Grugq / @thegrugq : Subpoenas from Congress are unenforceable. Just ignore it https://twitter.com/... @nancylevine : @SenHawleyPress @Twitter @Facebook Rudy Giuliani should also appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee. @Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg can cite @washingtonpost reporting: “The New York Post said it obtained the material from former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, a personal lawyer to President Trump.” https://twitter.com/... Ron Coleman / @roncoleman : GOP lawmakers on the Senate Judiciary Committee subpoena @jack over social-media platform's decision to limit sharing of articles relating to the Bidens https://www.wsj.com/... Charlie Spiering / @charliespiering : Ted Cruz, Lindsay Graham, Josh Hawley announces subpoena of @jack to appear at the Senate next Friday Senator John Cornyn / @johncornyn : I will be voting to subpoena https://twitter.com/... Jerry Dunleavy / @jerrydunleavy : .@Twitter is now blocking the follow-up @NYPost piece on Hunter Biden and China. https://twitter.com/... Scott Gustin / @scottgustin : BREAKING: Twitter has blocked the NY Post article about Hunter Biden. If you attempt to share the story, you will see this message: “We can't complete this request because this link has been identified by Twitter or our partners as being potentially harmful.” https://twitter.com/... Ian Bremmer / @ianbremmer : Twitter banning the NY Post story on Joe/Hunter Biden is a mistake. Gives the piece more attention than it would otherwise get. And hard to make a credible argument that would see this specific article singled out for such treatment. Ted Cruz / @tedcruz : My letter to @jack regarding @Twitter's censorship of the @nypost. https://twitter.com/... See also Mediagazer
Yeah, sure, @Facebook is lot like a supermarket ... except there's only ONE supermarket in town, and they decide who can and can't shop. That's what we call a monopoly https://twitter.com/...
Relax. Twitter and Facebook are not the internet, and they're not the government. These are private companies. A little bit like a supermarket asking you to wear a mask. You can just stay out or leave if you don't like it.
