Facebook and Twitter were supposed to be under the microscope at a Senate hearing on Wednesday, but Chinese device makers Huawei and ZTE ended up catching some of the flak.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg came to Capitol Hill to offer insight about how foreign governments are using their sites to spread misinformation on social media and what they're doing to fix the problem. The tenor of the hearing was largely cordial as lawmakers on the Senate Intelligence Committee talked about how they could work with the companies. Any real outrage seemed directed at Google, which declined to send an executive to testify.
