WASHINGTON—.
Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act was instrumental to the success of Silicon Valley tech giants such as Facebook Inc., Twitter Inc. and Alphabet Inc.’s Google and YouTube by giving them broad immunity for the content they publish from users on their sites.
If they want to behave like publishers, then they should be subject to the rules of publishers. If they don't want to be publishers, then they must stop restricting content.
Simple solution.. don’t censor.
time for RE_ELECTION -😡😡 some people are making EVIL - PLOT against Americans ...... - Only TRUMP can save america.. see the situation in europeee (france / sweden ) ..... - only trump can save
After 2016 election didn't they get guidance, mandate, crap to ferret out the false, misleading and outright lies? That's what twitter, facebook did. Now people are still complaining. It's not free speech when lies, twisted acts are spread. You wouldn't accept that w marketing?
Wow social media’s been around for a whopping 24 years - I’m sure they know exactly how to control the enormous power that they’ve been gifted...hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha
If they acted like a platform and not some weird social engineering, anti-free speech, cold-war era blacklisting, authoritarian controlers. Then these sites wouldn't be dealing with this now.
Take steps to put things in perspective, that's a major function of industrial leadership.
The Act must be wiped out and start over ..it has made billionaires in control of content and their deception to Report based on what they want reported..
translation: Our chinese masters are saying that this law its important to control. Pls don't mess with it.
When AM broadcast radio first became available 100 years ago, the government politicians expressed concern because the content was unregulated, so they trotted out regulations like the fairness doctrine as a result.

U.S. senators propose limiting liability shield for social media platformsThree Democratic U.S. senators introduced a bill that would limit Section 230, a law that shields online companies from liability over content posted by users, and make the companies more accountable when posts result in harm. Called the SAFE TECH Act, the legislation would mark the latest effort to make U.S. social media companies like Alphabet Inc's Google, Twitter Inc and Facebook Inc more accountable for 'enabling cyber-stalking, targeted harassment, and discrimination on their platforms,' Senators Mark Warner, Mazie Hirono and Amy Klobuchar said in a statement. Several Republican lawmakers have also been separately pushing to scrap the law entirely over decisions by tech platforms to moderate content.
