Hear, hear.
The article also mentions Peter Thiel (CEO of Palantir and chief hater of liberal democracy) having been 'expected' to give testimony, but only as then Facebook board member.
Meanwhile information already exists showing that Thiel directed Palantir employees to work with Cambridge Analytica (subverting democracies in the UK and USA and probably elsewhere too), but *without written agreement* as if he had deliberately tried staying off the hook. Apparently it worked and Thiel (a German immigrant) is still leading the charge to dismantle the United States as a democracy and a republic... Nice.
Meanwhile even European states are doing business with Thiel's Palantir...
