General election. We have multiple factcheckers who focus on the spanish, as a nguage. In the last four years, we have seen some unprecedented taxi on our Democratic Institutions, our social norms, the ways in which we conduct ourselves in this democracy. Many would say on truth itself. And in todays society, you cant talk about truth without also considering the impact of social media and social media platforms. So, if i might, mr.

Graham this is about censorship and suppression of the 2020 election. Sort of a deep dive when it comes to twitter and facebook about the platforms and the decisions they make, how they make them, can we do better, chemically do we need to do better . The first thing i want to talk about here is health risk associated with social media.
