Twitter, Facebook CEOs vow election action; GOP touts curbs

(AP) — As the CEOs of Twitter and Facebook gave assurances of vigorous action against election disinformation, Republicans at a Senate hearing pounded the social media companies over political bias, business practices and market dominance.

Twitter’s Jack Dorsey and Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg defended the safeguards against the use of their platforms to spread falsehoods and incite violence in the presidential contest.

Responding to concern from Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee, they pledged continued vigorous action for two special elections in Georgia that could determine in January which party controls the U.S. Senate.
