The Senate Judiciary Committee voted in favor of issuing subpoenas for Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter's Jack Dorsey Thursday, meaning that there might be two big tech CEO hearings on the horizon. Republicans in the committee declared their interest in a hearing on "the platforms’ censorship of New York Post articles" after social networks limited the reach of a dubious story purporting to contain hacked materials implicating Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son, in impropriety involving a Ukrainian energy firm. Tech's decision to take action against the New York Post story was bound to ignite Republicans in Congress, who have long claimed, with scant evidence, that social platforms deliberately censor conservative voices due to political bias.
