Groups Urge Congress to 'Dig Deeper' Into Facebook's Role in Capitol Riot

Tech accountability groups are urging members of Congress to “dig deeper” into the role Facebook played in leading up to the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol ahead of the House hearing about the attack, according to a report shared with The Hill. The groups are sending the report, composed of publicly available information and the groups’ previous findings of how Facebook was used ahead of the riot, to House and Senate leadership offices, as well as members of the House select committee formed to investigate the attack.
