WASHINGTON, D.C. – The House Oversight Committee is summoning the chief executives of Discord, Steam, Twitch and Reddit to testify on platform regulation following the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
The committee’s focus is on how these platforms are managing content to prevent violence. This move comes as the FBI is investigating over 20 individuals who were on a Discord chat with the suspect linked to Kirk’s killing.
The investigation into the online interactions of the suspect is ongoing. The committee’s aim is to understand the measures these platforms are taking to ensure user safety and prevent violent incidents.
Further developments are anticipated as the investigation progresses.
