Correct managers of Reddit, Twitch and Discord summoned his testimony in Congress after Killing Charlie Kirk

Many Republicans blame the blame on social media for killing them as the Maga Charlie Kerk influenced since the internet suspected messages have been disclosed and used the dispute to confess to killing. Now a high -level Congress member of some executives of various technology platforms want to witness all of this.

James Kumler, Chairman of the House of Representatives Supervision and Government Reform Committee, issued a statement On Wednesday, the executives of the dispute, Steam, Twitch, and Reddit are invited to testify at a hearing of the committee on October 8, 2025.

Kumler said in a statement published on the Internet: “The assassination of Charlie Kirk is a political driven by the life of the American husband, father and patriot. In the wake of this tragedy, and amid other works of political violence, Congress faces the duty to supervise the platforms via the Internet that extremists used to push political violence.”

“To prevent extremism and violence in the future, the executive managers must show the dispute, steam, trembling and Reddit in front of the Supervisory Committee and explain the measures they will take to ensure that their platforms are not exploited for nefarious purposes.”

Discord Gizmodo told a statement on Wednesday that its CEO would witness.

“We have received the committee’s invitation and we welcome the opportunity to testify,” said Gizmodo. “We are constantly interacting with policy makers on these critical issues and we look forward to continuing this important dialogue next month.”

Kirk was shot and killed September 10 At the University of Utah Valley in Urim, Utah, while he was performing one of his talks similar to the debate on the campus. Tyler Robinson, 22, from Utah, handed over to the authorities late the next day after his parents confessed to him from security footage issued by the FBI.

Lead cartridges are found near the crime location Employed messages, One of the many signs that the suspect has been connected to the online hunting culture.

According to what was mentioned, the messages include:

• “Ou’s swelling is noticed?”
• “My fascism! Cheer!” (Symbols that include an arrow up, a right arrow, and three arrows down)
• “Oh Bella Siao, Bella Siao, Bella Siao, Siau Siao”
• “If you read this, you are gay LMAO”

Robinson is also alleged to talk to friends about Discord, which is why Comer wants to bring the company’s CEO in a hearing. But it is not clear why he is also calling for executives who oversee companies such as Twitch, Steam and Reddit.

The policy of the accurate shooter has not been determined, but the indictment claimed that Robinson said that Kirk was full of “hate”. The indictment also indicates that Robinson’s messages were just a way to perform the dwarf instead of trying to make a serious statement.

But this will not prevent legislators from insisting that something about platforms like Discord somehow responsible for Kirk’s death, regardless of the absurdity of this idea.

Reddit, Twitch and Valve (Steam owner) did not respond to the questions that were sent via e -mail on Wednesday about whether the executives each will attend the session. Gizmodo will update this article when we hear again.
