Republicans on the Senate Commerce Committee are exploring ways to follow up on a contentious big tech hearing days ago about how to ensure companies do not censor content due to political bias.

Conn Carroll, the communications director for Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), told The Epoch Times that holding Big Tech accountable can take many forms and that Lee is “pursuing many of them.” The CEOs of Twitter, Facebook, and Google were grilled during the Oct. 28 hearing.
