No, the Senate is not investigating FaceBook. They're holding "hearings" which is a complete waste of time with 0 ability to do anything.
Apparently some Republican Senators do.
"Facebook must answer these serious allegations and hold those responsible to account if there has been political bias in the dissemination of trending news. Any attempt by a neutral and inclusive social media platform to censor or manipulate political discussion is an abuse of trust and inconsistent with the values of an open Internet." Senate Commerce Committee chairman John Thune
The Senate is investigating Facebook; WTF for are they going to do something? If not then they are wasting time and money for no good reason. If they are planning on intervening in someway then they are advocating government control of the internet.
