Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg testifying on Tuesday. Democrats focused on the spread of misinformation by Trump, a Republican, and his supporters. Zuckerberg and Dorsey admitted the companies have made some mistakes, but mostly defended their policies. Reuters reported last week that Zuckerberg told an all-staff meeting that Bannon had not violated enough of Facebook's policies to justify his suspension. Zuckerberg and Dorsey also fielded several pointed questions on whether they act as publishers, which the CEOs said they were not.
