The Senate Commerce Committee this afternoon voted suddenly to issue subpoenas into the minds of Facebook, Twitter, also Google to induce them to testify at a hearing–probably before Election Day.
The committee agreed in a unanimous, bipartisan vote to demand Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, also Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to seem (almost ) after not one of those executives had consented by now to look voluntarily.
Zuckerberg and Pichai, together with Apple CEO Tim Cook along with Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, testified before a House Judiciary subcommittee earlier this season.
