In the morning, it’s the Senate Intelligence Committee; in the afternoon, it’s the House’s panel. And the focus is again on the extent to which Kremlin-backed agents and trolls sought to spread disinformation and extremist content on major social media platforms — and what exactly the U.S. Congress should do about it.
Representing Facebook at the hearing is Colin Stretch, the company’s general counsel; from Google it’ll be Kent Walker, the search giant’s general counsel; and standing in for Twitter is Sean Edgett, the company’s acting general counsel.
The Senate hearing officially begins at 9:30 am ET/6:30 am PT, and you can find video here. The House’s session begins at 2:00 pm ET/11:00am PT, and will be available here.
