At the committee for Energy and Commerce for the #TwitterHearing
First @jack begins by reading this thread which he has just posted
The petition you all signed has had an impact. @jack recognizes that he is running a “digital public square.” #StopTheBias #TwitterHearing
This is promising: @jack confesses error with regard to the QFD shadowbanning #StopTheBias #TwitterHearing
Jack’s talking about the use of “signals” to determine who they ought downrank - and the idea that the signals they were using for QFD shadowbans were “unfair”
One random note - the portrait of John Conyers hangs prominently behind the chairman and the ranking minority member

Given that Mr. Conyers resigned when sexual harassment settlements came to light, shouldn’t that be taken down?

#TwitterHearing
Democrats’ main beef with Twitter is that they aren’t censoring enough content

Also, they think Republicans’ complaints about censorship are conspiracy theories

So @LauraLoomer was removed after an outburst

While she was screaming Rep. Billy Long started with auctioneer patter into the microphone to drown her out

After she was removed? “I yield back.” Whole room burst out laughing

His handle is @auctnr1

#TwitterHearing
Chuck Johnson was sitting next to Loomer before her outburst

He’s still here a few rows behind me
