Why do social media CEOs have to go through the U.S. Senate hearing?

1.23K viewsOther

European here, I was always confused watching U.S. Senate hearings with social media CEOs having to explain and be almost interrogated and accused of someone’s suicide from supposedly “watching content on the platform”. Why do they need to do that and is it only U.S. thing or does it happen somewhere else?

We have a similar in the UK. A Parliamentary Select Committee can summon people to appear to give evidence with cross examination. They have tried to call people like Zuckerberg, and the response was ‘Meh! No thanks.’
