This is just dumb. There is no need to review what we already know is happening. These people openly admit that they are censoring content and banning people for their political beliefs. They are even banning content that contains doctors and scientists disagreeing with the World Health Organization.
So what exactly do we need to review? The bias of these big tech companies against people over their political beliefs is a proven fact.
Trump already has the legal authority to regulate these big tech companies via the FTC and FCC.
The fact that he hasn’t done anything substantive over the past three years means that he has no plans to do anything substantive.
Remember the social media summit he held last year? Well, at that time he issued an order asking the government to look into how to deal with the bias of these tech companies. Nothing came of it and nothing will come out of this even if the panel is commissioned.
