A new house.gov press release shows the CEO of Reddit (along with the CEOs of Twitch, Discord, and Steam) have been invited to an October 8th committee hearing to examine online radicalization. Noticeably missing are other CEOs of platforms associated with right wing radicalization such as Meta, X, Kick, or Rumble.

well now i’m confused. I was told we were supposed to be against cancel culture and to encourage hearing uncomfortable ideas from the other side? are you telling me Republicans are hypocrites???
Kick, Rumble, and X are infinitely worse.
No 4chan?
kick, rumble, 4chan, twitter, and instagram should also be on this list.
I mean, if they’re serious about it.
It doesn’t matter what they actually find, they will say it’s a breeding ground for the radical Left. Do not trust anything our government puts out and question it vocally every chance you get.
They’ve already deleted their own findings about right wing extremists being responsible for most political violence.
And in the meantime right-wing extremists are still going to organize in peace, not bothered by anyone, just like they were doing for decades…
Sure, focus on the left while the right continues to be/becomes more deranged and homicidal. The danger is coming from inside your party, idiots
eta: But of course it’s not actually about protecting Americans.
No X/Twitter?
Convenient excuse to stamp out free speech.
Discord is a leftist space? Lol
They were not given a subpoena, so all of these people can skip the hearing.
Discord is a hotbed for extremism on the left and the right to be fair. O9A and The Com are right wing and recruit on discord. Leftist groups like ACP are over there too
steam being on here is crazy, its literally just a platform to download games
Reddit, lol.
Huh, but they don’t care about the radicalization in right wing spaces, despite that it’s far worse.
I’ve seen a lot of people explicitly saying racist BS (which the right supposedly isn’t according to them) on every major social media and it’s never removed or mentioned as an issue by them.
Why not X also ?
But also be accurate, these are GROYPER spaces as well.
“Radicalization.” The new weaponized term whose new definition will be whatever goes against fascists, just like “woke.”
Likely a conclusion such as this is drawn:
It was found that those on the left had radical ideas like equal rights for all, that body rights belonged to each person regarding their own bodies, that genocide is bad, that racism is bad, that homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, Islamophobia, and misogyny are all bad. It was very surprising to learn that the left viewed universal healthcare favorably and advocated for equal, good access to education, and the notion that people should not go bankrupt over medical bills. We learned that they are revolutionaries and surprisingly enough, some/many did not need to be religious to view such liberal ideologies.
Nazi shit
Seems like they need more tech CEOs on board with their latest evil plan. We all (should) know, absolutely zero of your data is safe / private on platforms like FB, Insta, X – and likely to only get worse
They’re going to find cesspools of right wing groups agitating for more political violence, but they’ll frame them as being trans leftists
lol im already getting warnings on reddit and tiktok… tiktok has gone downhill since it got taken over by maga.
They are 100% going to shove Hasan Piker at the Twitch guy’s face the whole time, while completely ignoring that basically all of their other commentator top streamers on the platform are right wingers and grifters
Hey everyone, DONALD J TRUMP IS A FUCKING PEDOPHILE.
No Facebook, Instagram or Tok Tok?
Must?
Erm, Steam Forums has a prominent gamergate / nazi problem, so good luck to them trying to navigate around that to try and root out leftists there.
North Korea Jr.
Tactics to push even more power and influence to Trump dictatorship.
People are not radicalizating, they are just fighting a dictator.
tumblr would’ve been on here if it was 2016, but crazy that fucking steam, twitch, and Reddit are considered ‘leftist’
Twitter and Facebook missing LOL
Oh so republicans are hypocrites? In other news water is wet
Can’t believe this Charlie Kirk guy, is the hill that the 1st Amendment is going to die on
6yrs of the shooters Discord chats and no political messages other than pro guns and pro trans rights but sure let’s call him a radical leftist
Same people clutching pearls who pressured Facebook and others to stop fact checking. I notice X is not listed as well.
Why not Telegram
Today I learned gamers are being radicalized by the left on steam
Does 4chan not exist anymore? Just bulk arrest all those guys.
