It’s not a court, and Twitter doesn’t have a right to be there (nor do any executives want to be in front of Congress under oath). Edit: The ranking member of the committee in the video said that the Twitter CEO was invited but refused to join the hearing. So there you go

but Twitter has already testified more or less through compliance statements and attestations about their security, and now we’re finding out about what they’ve been sweeping under the rug.



This is a fair point. They had their chance when they filed their statements with the SEC and others.

And they also control a big megaphone. If they want to release a statement, they can tweet it and boost it directly into everyone's feed.


Maybe that is why they were hiding. So someone else had to say something.

All it takes is this experienced security professional to bring down the house of cards that Twitter security is built on and it will just tell us that they have been hiding lots of skeletons and nasty secrets that were spun by the company for years.
