Politicians from around the world threatened representatives of Facebook Inc., Alphabet Inc.’s Google and Twitter Inc. with stricter laws on privacy, fake news and hate speech in a wide-ranging hearing in Canada’s capital.
Legislators from countries including Canada, the U.K., Mexico, Singapore and a host of others participated.
