26 Apr 2018, House Judiciary Committee Hearing: Filtering Practices of Social Media Platforms, Ranking member J. NADLER (D-NY-10)

Most of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle would kill for that kind of reach on social media. The witnesses will complain that Facebook has limited the ability of their followers to interact with their Facebook page. But the data show that their Facebook page received more total interactions in March 2018 when they were supposedly being censored than in March 2017, fresh off President Trump's victory ... The notion that social media companies are filtering out conservative voices is a hoax, a tired narrative of imagined victimhood as the rest of the country grapples with a feckless president and an out-of-control administration.

US Rep. Steve KING (R-IA-4): ...I appreciate the way you look at the American Dream: I want my right to earn the American Dream. And is there any difference in your mind between, say, Facebook and Twitter and Youtube, those um, we'll call them utilities [!], not necessarily public utilities but utilities, is there any difference between them and, let's say UPS and FedEx? If you're making your living selling things and shipping them out on FedEx, is that any different than it is making your living by "pitching" a message out through Facebook?
