Trump has said that he wants to 'remove or change' a provision of a law that shields social media companies from liability for content posted by their users.

Trump said last week that he wants to"remove or change" a provision of a law that shields social media companies from liability for content posted by their users.

In August 2018, Pai said he hoped social media companies would embrace free speech but did not see a role for the FCC to regulate websites like Facebook, Alphabet's Google and Twitter. Boston College law professor Daniel Lyons said the FCC was not required to act on the petition"especially as the request runs contrary to the strong First Amendment protections that the agency has traditionally extended."

Section 230 protects Internet companies from liability for illegal content posted by users and allows them to remove lawful but objectionable posts. "When a final decision is reached, my hope and expectation is that it will provide clarity about that line," Carr said.
