House Majority Leader McCarthy: Twitter CEO should explain company's content monitoring practices

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) says he hopes Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey's testimony on Capitol Hill provides insights into his company's algorithms and content monitoring practices as the social media giant battles allegations that its operations are influenced by politics. Rep McCarthy, who has been one of the most vocal critics of Silicon Valley companies over alleged anti-conservative bias, said that he expects Dorsey's testimony before the House Commerce Committee to be the first of several for members of the tech community. "This won't be the last hearing. There will be more people coming in," he said. He called for increased transparency involving the social media site's practices, saying it was especially important given the number of people who consume their news using social media.
