Conservative freakout has made social media companies scared to enforce rules against violence: House witness

During a House hearing on Wednesday, Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) pointed out that social media accounts are actually giving conservatives an edge on their platforms because there has been such an uprising.

She noted that the hearing "would be funny if it weren't real life.
