U.S. Senator Mark Warner said on Monday he has been talking to President Joe Biden's staff about Section 230 - a law protecting tech companies - and expects his recent legislation to reform the law to find a Republican co-sponsor.
The bill would make U.S. social media companies like Alphabet Inc's Google, Twitter Inc and Facebook Inc more accountable for allegedly enabling cyber-stalking, targeted harassment and discrimination on their platforms by amending Section 230, which protects tech platforms from liability over content users post.In February, Warner, who chairs the U.S. Senate Intelligence committee, introduced a bill with Democratic Senators Amy Klobuchar and Mazie Hirono called the Safe Tech Act.
Warner also said he has spoken to Biden's staff and that they are interested in having a debate on Section 230. The White House, Warner said, is still developing its broader position on technology policy.
