An unprecedented group of international lawmakers investigating "fake news" is set to demand a public meeting with an extraordinary collection of leaders from the world's largest tech companies. The "International Grand Committee" - a collection of members of parliaments from countries around the world investigating disinformation, fake news and election meddling - is set to hold its second hearing on May 28, in Ottawa, Canada.
