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

1.24K 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?

They could skip it but if it’s publicly traded the annual prospectus would say “ basically we are fucked. Don’t buy our stock.”

I imagine Congress would get super pissed and over regulate it.
