WASHINGTON - The U.S. Justice Department proposed on Wednesday that Congress take up legislation to curb protections big tech platforms like Alphabet’s Google and Facebook have had for decades, a senior official said, following through on U.S. President Donald Trump’s bid to crack down on tech giants.
For it to become law, U.S. lawmakers would need to propose and approve legislation based on the department’s recommendations. Trump said he sought to “remove or change” Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act, which generally exempts platforms from responsibility for what their users post and allows them to moderate the content of their sites as they see fit.
Can always count on Zuckerberg to ask to not use protection because it’s “better”. What a pig! Blessings, Winnie
