Top 3 Tech CEOs grilled by US Congress


All is not well to top companies Facebook, Google and Twitter. Facebook is facing mounting criticism after it blocked news content in Australia amid a dispute with the government over a planned law. 

Australian government new legislation frustrates Google and Facebook on payment of using local content. The law will force tech giants to pay for news content on their platforms. Australia seems to be example for many nations in enforcing new legislation. CEOs of Google, Facebook and Twitter are facing criticism from US Congress members on their role in January 06th Capitol riots.


Lawmakers have criticized the executives for the role of their companies often play in the spread of misinformation. They have questioned first time since US Capitol was stormed by pro-Trump rioters. The hearing could lead to steps to make the tech giants more accountable for the content they allowed in their platforms. Sundar Pichai of Google, Jack Dorsey of Twitter and Mark Zukerberg of Facebook are really feeling the heat and wrath of law makers. They have charged with allegations their platforms efforts to stem baseless election fraud claims and vaccine skepticism.




Facebook and Google declined to say whether they believe they bear some responsibility for spreading misinformation resulting in the Capitol riots, while Twitter acknowledged that it did. Jack Dorsey, CEO of Twitter has acknowledged that his platform had some sort of influence on capitol riots happened on January 06th. U.S. lawmakers seem to put some kind of regulation on these platforms. Zuckerberg rejected responsibility for fomenting the riots, pinning the blame squarely on Trump. The hours-long hearing at times resembled a duel between openly outraged lawmakers and the embattled executives. Members of Congress accused the CEOs of being smug, evasive and condescending.
