Perhaps most substantively on antitrust, Zuckerberg will defend Facebook’s M&A strategy, describing it as an effort to build “better services that provide more value to people and advertisers.” He’ll claim it took Facebook for WhatsApp and IG to introduce certain features. — PolitiTweet.org

Zuckerberg will also reiterate the familiar talking point that Facebook must constantly compete or risk being made obsolete, particularly pointing to China and its “version of the internet focused on very different ideas." — PolitiTweet.org

Nothing too surprising in the rest of it. Among other things, he makes the case that Facebook has been aggressively fighting Covid-19 misinformation (though kind of awkward in light of this week’s viral misleading video that racked up millions of views before getting taken down). — PolitiTweet.org

We’ve gotten a copy of Mark Zuckerberg’s prepared congressional testimony. He’s expected to argue that Facebook "is a successful company now, but we got there the American way: we started with nothing and provided better products that people find valuable." — PolitiTweet.org

At this hearing, Sen. Lee just brought up the video that got Don Jr.’s Twitter account temporarily limited, saying the people in the video were “medical doctors” whose misleading claims on Covid are no different than a difference of opinion on how to treat strep or cancer. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Rep. Chris Cox, an author of Section 230 and who’s testifying at this Senate hearing, says the claim that the law requires online platforms to be politically neutral is “just wrong.” If that were the case, he says, the RNC and DNC couldn’t operate websites at all. — PolitiTweet.org

At this Senate hearing on Section 230, Sen. Wicker seems interested in striking “otherwise objectionable” from the law or restricting its meaning so that sites can’t use it to explain content decisions (implication being that it’s currently used to justify political censorship). — PolitiTweet.org
