The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee said on Friday the chief executives of Twitter and Facebook will testify before the panel on November 17 over their decision to block stories that made claims about Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden's son. The Judiciary committee voted on Thursday to subpoena the two CEOs. The executives will testify on allegations of anti-conservative bias, the committee said. The companies have come under heavy criticism from conservatives over their decision to flag two New York Post stories as spreading disinformation. 'Our story explains where the info came from, and a Senate committee now confirms it also received the files from the same source,' it hit back.
