MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE

Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Gary Peters (D-Mich.) is demanding that Facebook, Twitter and YouTube provide information regarding their policies surrounding mitigating extremist content on their platforms.

Peters in a release on Monday said he wrote letters to each platform’s CEO in an effort to combat domestic terrorism and investigate the events of Jan. 6, when rioters attacked the U.S. Capitol.

“Online platforms continue to be used to fundraise, recruit, organize, train, and plan for acts of domestic terrorism,” Peters said in the letters before citing individual examples of this for each platform.
