Last week, the CEOs of major tech companies appeared before Congress to testify for the first time since the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol, which was fueled in part by online misinformation. On this week’s Arbiters of Truth, Evelyn Douek and Quinta Jurecic of Lawfare sit down with Issie Lapowsky, a senior reporter at Protocol, to discuss the testimony and platforms’ struggle contain far-right extremism online.
