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?

Theater.
It gets more frequent near elections. CEOs are “called on the carpet” so that the Senate looks like they’re doing something about whatever the issue is (it’s almost certain they’re being paid not to), and the CEOs get some palliative press time that bumps up their stock prices and annual bonus.
“After all is said and done, more is said than done.”
