The Trump administration is pressuring Senate Republicans to ratchet up scrutiny of social media companies it sees as biased against conservatives in the run-up to the November election. And the effort appears to be paying off.

The Trump administration is pressuring Senate Republicans to ratchet up scrutiny of social media companies it sees as biased against conservatives in the run-up to the November election, people familiar with the conversations say. And the effort appears to be paying off.

Both committees are targeting liability protections that have been credited with fueling Silicon Valley's success. The provision — enshrined in a 1996 law known as Section 230 — has allowed online businesses to grow without fear of lawsuits over user posts or their decisions to remove or otherwise moderate users' content.

Sen. Josh Hawley , a top Trump ally on tech and longtime critic of Section 230, called the recent surge of activity by his colleagues "a sea change." President Donald Trump, he said, has been a driving force in rallying them.

Republicans Weigh In On Trump’s White Supremacy Debate Moment“If he doesn't correct it, I guess he didn't misspeak.' Imagine this even being a discussion but here we are. Why is Proud Boys a topic? When were they deemed a White Supremacist Group? Being proud of your country makes you a racist? People are tired of looting, burning, hate and the tearing down our moral fabric. Why are they not given the same right to bring-up while others bring-down. They should really be weighing in on Trump's zero plan for the next 4 years and just more 'yelling louder' routine. He's trash. Time to kick it to the curb.
