Right wing domestic terrorists are targeting us and plan to maintain power even after the president leaves office. We must prioritize diversity, inclusion, and community protection. I have to leave to testify on impeachment, something I've been advocating for since this president was elected. Thank you.

Speaker 0: Immunities. These are right wing domestic terrorists who we are targeted by, and they intend to have power, with this president even after he is no longer the president. This president is headed toward a civil war, and we're the object of their hate. And so it is not only about protection and security for the capital and us. We need to talk about what we're going to do to force diversity and inclusion and protection for our communities.
And with that, I know Joyce is signaling that it's time to get off of here, and I'm off. I gotta go to the floor and testify on impeachment. You know, I know something about impeachment. I've been calling for it since this president was elected. Thank you very much.
You're quite welcome.

Speaker 0: When it was Twitter, from November 21st. Have you read this? No. Well, do you think it would be problematic if X leaves up terrorist violence and propaganda in violation of the terms of service.
Speaker 1: Terrorist violence or terrorist propaganda?
Speaker 0: If it violates their terms of service is it is it problematic?
Speaker 2: Well, it depends on what
Speaker 1: the content is, but, you know, they're a private company. They can do what they want with the content.
Speaker 0: They're a private company, and they can do what they want with the content. Do you think it's problematic that X would profit off of terrorist violent violence, propaganda and content on their social media platform?
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, just to go back to No.
Speaker 0: No. Just answer the question. I don't have time. Do you think it's prob problem if they're if they profit off of it?
Speaker 1: Well, if they've if the company makes money doing what it does, I don't I don't necessarily see a problem with that. Okay.
Speaker 0: Interesting. So let me just move on because you said the biggest concern screen, sir. I'm sorry. You said the biggest concern that you had from the Twitter files was the systematic flags for social media companies. Now, the Stanford EIP that you're talking about, I'm sure you are aware, has documented that the social media platforms to whom they flagged potentially problematic tweets took action on only 35% of them, and only 13% of them were removed.
Mister Shellenberger, you said the biggest problem and and let me just ask you mister Taube real briefly. You would agree that these flags that the systematic flags that you saw were flags for a violation of the terms of service of the social media company. Is that right? Sometimes, but sometimes in
Speaker 1: the case of, the instances like Congressman Massie, there were actually true information.
Speaker 0: I under well, that that may be the case, but the flag was for a violation of the terms of service.
Speaker 1: It's for their interpretation of a violation.
Speaker 0: And then the social media company has to determine whether or not it was it is actually a violation of their terms of service. And in 87% of those flags, they were not removed. Mister Schellenberg, I have brief time. You won't you said that the censorship biggest problem you have is the censorship that you talk about is election interference. Do you agree that Russia used social media including Twitter to interfere in the 2016 presidential election, yes.
Thank you. Now, we've also briefly, if I may, mister chairman, just have a, extra time that my colleagues have had. You've talked about the Hunter Biden laptop and how the FBI knew it existed. You are aware, of course, that the, laptop, so to speak, was actually that was published in the New York Post was actually a hard drive that the New York Post admitted here was not authenticated as real. It was not the laptop the FBI had.
You're aware of that. Right?
Speaker 3: It was the same contents. How do you know? Because because it's the same I mean, it's
Speaker 0: You would have to authenticate it to know it was the same Potents. You have no idea. You know hard drives can manipulate it?
Speaker 3: Are you suggesting the New York Post participate in a conspiracy To construct the contents of the 100 vinyl laptop?
Speaker 0: No, sir. The problem is that hard drives can be manipulated by Rudy Giuliani or Russia. What's the
Speaker 3: evidence that that happened?
Speaker 0: Well, there is actual evidence of it, but the point is it's not just the right thing
Speaker 3: to do. So you're engaged in a conspiracy
Speaker 0: I'm glad you agree with me, mister Schellenberger, that transparency it is the most important thing. And my last question for you is, do you think it would be transparent if Hunter Biden came to this Congress and testified in a public hearing, and more transparent than if he testified privately.
Speaker 3: It's I mean, literally, I've never thought about that. I have no idea. You don't know. Never thought about that.
Speaker 0: Public testimony more transparent than random testimony?
Speaker 3: Are you familiar with the first Mister chairman, I yield back. Congress shall take no action to abridge freedom of speech.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And that's what you just described.
Speaker 2: Mister Selmer, is 13% censorship Still censorship? Absolutely. And the other 87% is what we call the chilling effect that the courts have long recognized that they engaged in. If That is the problem.
Speaker 3: There's a broad op by the way, part of the operation, Congresswoman Goldman now. Part of the operation was to change the terms of service. So you see them constantly trying to change the terms of service. You see them it was 35% of of the URLs that were They referring to EIP I just were labeled, removed, or Soft blocked. That's all forms of censorship.
That censorship is not just removal.
Speaker 0: General lady But 65% were not. So how can the government be So it's so coercive
Speaker 3: Does the 1st Amendment think that's above par for the course on government officials? Amendments say the government can censor
Speaker 0: flagging in the social media companies is
Speaker 1: So under the elimination 35% of a first amendment or
Speaker 0: It's not the first amendment. It's the terms of service as you said, and they are flagging it for the social media companies to make their own decisions. That is not the first amendment. That is the terms of service. We've just seen that.
Speaker 1: Congressman, you're an attorney. You know that the 4 federal judges have already ruled that
Speaker 0: and I know that it's on appeal in front of the Supreme Court right now.
Speaker 2: This that debate was very concerning. That was fun. I think that got to the harm of the issue. That's that's the problem right there. That's what we're talking about.
