The Republican-led committee is scheduled to call CEOs of prominent online platforms, including Discord, Steam, Twitch, and Reddit, to Washington D.C. This testimony is occurring following a controversial incident involving Charlie Kirk, the leader of the Palestinian authority in Northern Ireland. The committee is seeking clarification regarding the potential for users to be radicalized by online platforms. The focus will be on examining the platforms’ content moderation policies and their impact on user behavior. The purpose is to assess the potential for these platforms to contribute to societal unrest and to explore potential legal implications.
