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?

99% of what congress does is bullshit theater. Anytime they make an actual decision they risk angering someone and that means they risk losing reelection. The answer to your question is that this is just one of many ways they pretend they do things while doing nothing.
