Tim Cook: "It’s not something I’m all the way up to speed on, but if you’re talking about where somebody w/ a different point of view talks & they’re cancelled, I don’t think that’s good. I think it’s good for people to hear different points of view & decide for themselves."

Sundar Pichai: "We’ve built platforms which allow for freedom of expression and we take pride in the fact that, across our platforms, including YouTube, there are more diverse voices than ever before.”

Mark Zuckerberg: "Yes, congressman, I believe strongly in free expression. Giving people a voice is an important part of what our services do, & I am very worried about some of the forces of illiberalism that I see in this country that are pushing against free expression..."

Mark Zuckerberg (continued): "... I think that this is one of the fundamental democratic traditions that we have in our country & it’s how we make progress over the long term on a number of issues, & our company is committed to doing what we can to protect people’s voices."

Jeff Bezos: "Yes sir, I am concerned in general about that, and what I find a little bit discouraging is that it appears to me that social media is a nuance destruction machine, and I don’t think that’s helpful for a democracy.”
