House Commerce Committee GOP Again Seeks Tech CEO Hearing

The House Commerce Committee should hold a hearing with Apple, Facebook, Google and Twitter CEOs, Republican committee leaders wrote Chairman Frank Pallone, D-N.J. Ranking member Cathy McMorris Rodgers, Wash.; Communications Subcommittee ranking member Bob Latta, Ohio; Consumer Protection Subcommittee ranking member Gus Bilirakis, Fla.; and Oversight Subcommittee ranking member Morgan Griffith, Va., cited transparency, accountability, consistency and competition. “Last Congress, we requested you hold a hearing with several Big Tech CEOs to get answers and push them to improve their practices,” they wrote Friday. “Unfortunately, Big Tech’s behavior has increasingly worsened.” Pallone’s office didn’t comment.
