The FTC doesn't like Elon Musk. They ignored all this when it was held by Jack, but now it's in Elon's hands, they must fine tooth comb all his communications.
God Bless Jim Jordan.
What is the point of questioning these people for just a few minutes under oath and then not doing anything about it when they refuse to answer and therefore lie under oath? When asked their own opinion they all of a sudden don't know what their opinion is. That's a lie by omission. Why are these people never held in contempt? Why do we watch them lie day in and day out and nothing happens to them? What's the point of this political theater?

Agree that she understands the questions, as do many of the witnesses who testify and recite non-responsive answers crafted to cover their butts while containing little actual substance.
So according to her response,,those who have the power decideds what is true
new rule. if they cant answer the question... they get fired.
Lisa has an expired Law license. !!
Just kick her out... "congressman i'm glad to have the opprotunity...." Me: "No, contempt of congress, i'm tired of your lies, and so is everyone else, you might not exactly know, but you are covering. This is subterfuge... shut up.... weather that be your position, or your boss, you better think long and hard if either of those are worth the price of allowing your government to silence you."
Consequences? Any ?ever? Words n they don’t care? Why should they? They still get away n do everything the same. Little paws u naughty children shouldn’t do that n end of problem
All government agencies need to be transparent, not the public. We the public have the right to privacy, not governments. So when government does not obey laws, then we have no laws.
Scary Poppins decides on what is disinformation…
Throw this domestic enemy in gitmo!
How is it, that a person born in London to Pakistani parents becomes a high ranking person in American government? Who's team is she on? Is she even an American citizen? And, she has a BA in Art? What a joke.
We at the ftc just answer the bloody questions I feel sorry for the citizens of the used to be good ole USA 🇺🇸 get better soon god bless
Since she won't answer the question, it means she is the one making those decisions, or part of the organization that does.
If you truly wanted too see competition then butt out.
" I get why you are concerned about one group of people deciding what can be seen or heard, so we are promoting competition to better the process "??? So the answer is a more diversified sensorship body?? She should just say that they will do what they want , because they are so virtuous and pure,that whatever actions they take are by default virtuous and pure.
Amazing how much she can talk without answering the question.

Tyrannical enforcement of radical Leftism becomes: "Concerned with fraud and deception" Like the FBI director's spin of: "Threats of violence" talking about targeting parents trying to remove radical policy from public schools. They don't just not answer, they strategically spin and lie abusing language itself with deliberate measures.
She would know about fraud and deception, not licensed for law
Like Pinocchio, every time Khan lies, her nose gets longer.
No answer from her. Just the usual duck.
Always for our safety. Yeah yeah yeah.
She does not want to say that she is deciding if it disinformation or not based on her ideology.
And she never said who was the "DECIDER"
WHAT SHE IS TALKING ABOUT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT HE ASKED ABOUT! HE ASKED WHAT IS DISINFORMATION,AND SHE IS TALKING ABOUT SCAMS AND FRAUD!
If she doesn’t want to answer she should just say that
This is a “BAD” woman
Is she any kin to Sadiq Khan the Mayor of London ? They seems to be of the same mold.

Her last sentence... did the FTC push Zuck to create threads as a competitor to twitter?
I can’t hear her behind her nose.
Congressional hearings are a complete waste of time. Witnesses never say anything of substance. They may as well just put "I'm not going to answer" on repeat.
She keeps saying "follow the law". Sounds like she's the one NOT FOLLOWING THE LAW!!
fire them all! do any government employees hold themselves accountable to the people, all the people. how do they sleep at night?
Another day, another court loss. She chases cases down garden pathways that lead nowhere. If she won and courts stamped her as a winner, I'd be all for her. But that does not happen.
The government should stop them... when it's convenient.
Federal agencies have no business regulating anyone's speech
She gets a A+ in duck, hide, and spew out misinformation.
Disinformation: any information that the government (particularly, democrat politicians) do not like, approve of, or otherwise does not support or strengthen the political messaging they want to push.
she should be removed from FTC ...
Whose job is it to decide what gets heard? Not the FTC or any other government bureaucrat thats for sure.
They should put a bush in the room for that woman to beat around
I decide what is disinformation not you.
like she should decide who gets heard when she withholds information from congress. is this person in the correct job?
But that is what you are doing.
Because Congress doesn't I believe have the authority to fire her
The ministry of truth...
Now we know why these people get into these positions of power !! Liars liars liars
“Disinformation” is information, and information is free speech.
1:09 Why did she say it like that? *Tf?*
Is it not time to defund these double talking government employees!!!!
disinformation is anything that can point the finger at their guilty crimes
Her and Freeland must have went to the same school. Even their voices sound the same.
At 3:56, she is worried about companies deciding who gets to be heard, so instead of going after FB, YT, she goes after Twitter? What an effing clown 🤡🤡
Fired
''The Hammer'' is part of the problem..
She likes her power. Listen to what she says.
A Federal ruling on suppression of speech on public media... isn't important to the FTC? For the love of God, that should be a public caning offense. What an asinine comment for her to make. What was her last job, paper weight?
it's called a "lie"......
This woman is a master at government bureaucrat doublespeak.
What a hypocrite. How can she decide a business fate when her own Bar licenses is status is "Delinquent" #notqualified to speak!
How about anyone brought before congress whos refuses to honestly answer questions loses their job in government forever. No local government positions, I don't even want them working at the DMV.
