Twitter CEO to testify before US House panel on Sept. 5

None

 Twitter Inc's chief executive will testify before a US House of Representatives committee on Sept. 5, the panel said on Friday, after some Republicans raised concerns about social media companies removing content from conservatives.

 

The House Energy and Commerce Committee "intends to ask tough questions about how Twitter monitors and polices content," Republican Representative Greg Walden, the panel's chairman, said in a statement.

 

"We look forward to Mr. Dorsey being forthright and transparent regarding the complex processes behind the company's algorithms and content judgment calls," Walden said.

 

On Friday, US President Donald Trump accused social media companies of silencing "millions of people" in an act of censorship, but without offering evidence to support the claim.
