If I was a tech executive called up before congress, I’d just tell them thanks for the tax cuts and ask when I can expect another. What actual regulation has congress enacted on tech or any business in the last few decades?
- civilitty 3y agoWhen’s the last time an executive was charged with Contempt of Congress? Clapper just straight up bald face lied multiple times about the US surveillance aparatus during the Snowden revelations and faced absolutely zero consequences. Altman could ignore the summons or just dodge questions endlessly and Congress wouldn’t lift a finger except to grandstand for their respective peanut galleries.

If as members of the government then they are illegally trying to do an end around the First Amendment by applying government pressure to censor speech. If as private citizens then they have no right to expect any answers from them and can go screw themselves.
