Congressional hearing? Regardless of the fact that fb pretty much holds the same position of the government and helps spread it, why would there be a congressional hearing on a private company doing what they want with their platform.

We have always been free to stop using fb or roll an alternative.

Also won't save you from the congressional hearing. Such hearings only happen because they don't like what they are seeing, it pretty much means hot water, and it doesn't mean there will be any meaningful consequence except broadcasting to the nation that Congress isn't amused.
Saying a private company can do what it wants and serve who its wants is a long time passed in the USA.
