<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>Washington: The CEOs of social media giants Facebook, Twitter and Google<\/a> face a new grilling by Congress Thursday, one focused on their efforts to prevent their platforms<\/a> from spreading falsehoods and inciting violence. That's been a familiar theme for lawmakers over the past few years. But the pressure is even higher following the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, the rise in COVID<\/a> vaccine misinformation and united Democratic control of Congress and the White House.

The latter could make legislative action more likely, although it remains far from a sure thing.

As malicious conspiracy theories continue to spread, lawmakers are pounding the
social media companies<\/a> over their market dominance, harvesting of user data<\/a> and practices that some believe actually encourage the spread of engaging but potentially harmful misinformation.

Some Republicans have also alleged, without proof, censorship and political bias against conservatives as another reason to rein in the enormous firms.

There's increasing support in Congress for imposing new curbs on
legal protections<\/a> regarding speech posted on their platforms. Both Republicans and Democrats - including President Joe Biden as a candidate - have called for stripping away some of the protections under so-called Section 230 of a 25-year-old telecommunications law that shields internet<\/a> companies from liability for what users post.

Facebook CEO
Mark Zuckerberg<\/a>, Twitter chief Jack Dorsey and Google CEO Sundar Pichai<\/a> - whose company owns YouTube - will testify in a virtual hearing before the House Energy and Commerce Committee. The session's title leaves little doubt as to the majority Democrats' stance: \"Disinformation Nation: Social Media's Role in Promoting Extremism and Misinformation.\"

These executives testified on the subject at several congressional hearings last year, sometimes under threat of subpoena.

This time they face tougher dynamics and may be called to account for earlier promises. In a Senate hearing shortly after the election in November, for instance, Zuckerberg and Dorsey gave lawmakers assurances of vigorous action against disinformation.

Former President Donald Trump enjoyed special treatment on Facebook and Twitter until January, despite spreading misinformation, pushing false claims of voting fraud, and promulgating hate. Facebook banned Trump indefinitely a day after rioters egged on by Trump swarmed the Capitol. Twitter soon followed, permanently disabling Trump's favored bullhorn.

Banning a sitting president from social media was an unprecedented step. Of course, so was Trump's heavy use of Twitter to lambaste opponents, laud supporters and spread false claims to more than 80 million followers. He was also only the second president to have a social media presence while in office.

Facebook hasn't yet decided whether it will banish the former president permanently. The company punted that decision to its quasi-independent Oversight Board - sort of a Supreme Court of Facebook enforcement - which is expected to rule on the matter next month.

Republicans have stepped up their complaints of alleged censorship and anti-conservative bias at the social media platforms. Researchers say there's no evidence that the social media giants are biased against conservative news, posts or other material, or that they favour one side of political debate over another.

Democrats, meanwhile, are largely focused on hate speech and incitement that can spawn real-world violence.

An outside report issued this week found that Facebook has allowed groups - many tied to QAnon, boogaloo and militia movements - to extol violence during the 2020 election and in the weeks leading up to the deadly riots on the Capitol.

The report from Avaaz, a nonprofit advocacy group that says it seeks to protect democracies from misinformation, identified several hundred pages and groups on Facebook that it says spread violence-glorifying material to a combined following of 32 million users.

Facebook acknowledged that its policy enforcement \"isn't perfect,\" but said the report distorts its work against violent extremism and misinformation.

The tech CEOs plan a spirited defense of the liability shield under Section 230, saying it has helped make the internet the forum of free expression that it is today.

Zuckerberg, however, will also again urge Congress to update that law to ensure it's working as intended. He's adding a specific suggestion: Congress could require internet platforms to gain legal protection only by proving that their systems for identifying illegal content are up to snuff.

\"Instead of being granted immunity, platforms should be required to demonstrate that they have systems in place for identifying unlawful content and removing it,\" Zuckerberg said in written testimony prepared for Thursday's hearing.

It's not clear lawmakers will buy that argument. Sen. Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat, charged that Zuckerberg's plan would entrench giant firms at the expense of smaller rivals.

\"Everyone working to address real issues online should be deeply wary about Mark Zuckerberg's proposals for new regulations,\" Wyden said in a statement.

Pichai and Dorsey have urged caution about any changes to Section 230. Regulation is important to protect the open web while curbing its harmful use, Pichai said in his written testimony.<\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":81685737,"title":"Facebook may have to disclose some app records in privacy probe, Massachusetts court rules","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/facebook-may-have-to-disclose-some-app-records-in-privacy-probe-massachusetts-court-rules\/81685737","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"telecomnews"}],"related_content":[],"msid":81685767,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"Congress to press Big Tech CEOs over speech, misinformation","synopsis":"The CEOs of social media giants Facebook, Twitter and Google face a new grilling by Congress Thursday, one focused on their efforts to prevent their platforms from spreading falsehoods and inciting violence.","titleseo":"telecomnews\/congress-to-press-big-tech-ceos-over-speech-misinformation","status":"ACTIVE","authors":[],"Alttitle":{"minfo":""},"artag":"PTI","artdate":"2021-03-25 13:18:52","lastupd":"2021-03-25 13:22:11","breadcrumbTags":["google","legal protections","User data","covid","mark zuckerberg","Big Tech","Sundar Pichai","Social media companies","Internet","platforms"],"secinfo":{"seolocation":"telecomnews\/congress-to-press-big-tech-ceos-over-speech-misinformation"}}" data-authors="[" "]" data-category-name="" data-category_id="" data-date="2021-03-25" data-index="article_1">

国会新闻大科技ceo在演讲中,错误信息

社会媒体巨头的首席执行官Facebook、Twitter和谷歌周四由国会面临一个新的烧烤,一个专注于他们的努力来阻止他们的平台传播谎言和煽动暴力。

华盛顿:社会媒体巨头的首席执行官Facebook、Twitter和谷歌周四由国会面临一个新的烧烤,一个专注于他们的努力来阻止他们平台从传播谎言和煽动暴力。这是一个熟悉的主题议员在过去的几年里。但1月6日暴动后的压力更高在美国国会大厦,上升COVID错误信息和疫苗联合民主国会和白宫的控制权。

后者可以采取立法行动更有可能的是,尽管它仍远未确定的事情。

随着恶意阴谋论继续蔓延,议员们猛击社交媒体公司对其市场主导地位,收获的用户数据和实践,一些人认为实际上鼓励参与但有害的错误信息的传播。

一些共和党人也声称,没有证据,审查制度和政治偏见反对保守党控制的公司的另一个原因。

越来越多的支持在国会施加新的限制法律保护关于演讲张贴在他们的平台。共和党和民主党——包括总统拜登作为候选人,呼吁剥离保护的一些所谓的230条款的25岁的电信法律盾牌互联网公司用户责任。

Facebook首席执行官马克•扎克伯格Twitter首席杰克·多尔西和谷歌CEOSundar Pichai——公司拥有YouTube的——将在一个虚拟的听证会作证众议院能源和商业委员会。会话的标题无疑的多数民主党的立场:“造谣的国家:社会媒体的作用在促进极端主义和错误。”

这些高管作证的几家去年国会听证会,有时受到威胁的传票。

这一次他们面临更严格的动态和可能要为早些时候承诺。在11月的选举后不久的一次参议院听证会上,例如,扎克伯格和多西对虚假信息给议员们保证有力的行动。

前总统唐纳德·特朗普在Facebook和Twitter上享有特殊待遇,直到一月,尽管传播错误信息,推动虚假投票作假,颁布恨。Facebook无限期禁止超过一天后暴徒怂恿下胜过蜂拥国会大厦。Twitter之后不久,永久禁用特朗普的青睐的扩音器。

禁止现任总统社交媒体是前所未有的一步。当然,特朗普的大量使用也是Twitter痛打对手,劳德散布虚假声称超过8000万的支持者和追随者。他也只有第二个总统在任期间社交媒体。

Facebook还没有决定是否会永久驱逐前总统。公司不决定其准独立监督委员会——Facebook的最高法院执行——这将在下月。

共和党人加大了他们的抱怨所谓的审查和anti-conservative偏见在社会媒体平台。研究人员说没有证据表明社交媒体巨头也歧视保守新闻、文章或其他材料,或他们支持一方的政治辩论。乐动扑克

与此同时,民主党人则主要集中在仇恨言论,煽动,可以产生现实世界的暴力。

外部本周发布的报告发现,Facebook允许组织——许多与QAnon,布加洛舞和民兵运动——颂扬暴力在2020年大选前几周在国会大厦致命的骚乱。

Avaaz的报告,一个非营利的组织说,它旨在保护民主国家从错误信息,确定了几百页和团体在Facebook上,传播violence-glorifying材料结合后的3200万用户。

Facebook承认其策略实施“并不完美,但他说报告歪曲了其工作打击暴力极端主义和错误信息。

科技ceo计划地认为230条款下的责任的盾牌,说它已经使互联网言论自由的论坛,今天。

然而,扎克伯格还将再次敦促国会更新法律来确保它的工作。他添加一个具体建议:国会可能需要互联网平台获得法律保护只能通过证明他们的系统识别非法内容是正常的。

”而不是获得免疫力,平台应该被要求证明他们有系统在识别非法内容和删除它,”扎克伯格在书面证词中说准备周四的听证会。

不清楚议员会买这个论点。俄勒冈州民主党参议员罗恩,指控,扎克伯格的计划将巩固巨头公司的规模较小的竞争对手。

“每个人都致力于解决实际问题在线应该深深担心马克·扎克伯格的新规定的提案,”温迪在一份声明中说。

Pichai和多西敦促谨慎任何更改到230节。保护开放网络监管是重要而抑制其有害使用Pichai说在他的书面证词。
