(ANSA) - WASHINGTON, 28 OCT - The heads of Twitter, Google and Facebook were put under pressure today at the US Congress, especially by Republican senators, for the way they manage the contents on their platforms, a hot topic less than a week from elections.


    Jack Dorsey, Sundar Pichai, Mark Zuckerberg appeared envious of the conference by defending section 230 of the Communications Decency Act before the Senate Trade Commission, the law that guarantees immunity against lawsuits related to content published by third parties.

But the senators of the Grand Old Party attacked them, calling for a profound reform of the law to strengthen the accountability of the tech giants.


    "My concern is that these platforms have become powerful arbiters of truth and content that users can access, accused Senator RogerWicker." The general American public is poorly informed about decision-making when content is moderate and users have little recourse when are censuratio limited, "he continued. Wicker then focused his attacks on Twitter, accusing it of being biased and of excessively hitting conservatives, starting with Donald Trump." Your platform authorizes foreign dictators to publish their propaganda without restrictions and instead systematically limited the president of the United States ", he urged.


    " Who the hell elected you, who commissioned you to decide what the American people can hear? ", echoed TedCruz, turning to Dorsey. (ANSA).
