They are biased against my fans

Donald “Don’t wear a mask, Corona only infects the weak” Trump is leaning on Senate Republicans from his sick bed to ratchet up scrutiny of social media companies it sees as biased against conservatives in the run-up to the November election.

Politico reports that the White House has pressed Senate Republican leaders on key committees to hold public hearings on the law that protects Facebook, Twitter and other internet companies from lawsuits over how they treat user posts.

Action is following. Senate Commerce Chair Roger Wicker held a vote in his committee Thursday to issue subpoenas to the CEOs of Facebook, Twitter and Google to testify about how they police content on their platforms.
