WASHINGTON - The U.S. Senate Commerce Committee on Thursday unanimously voted to approve a plan to subpoena chief executives of Twitter, Alphabet’s Google and Facebook for a hearing likely to be held before the election on a prized legal immunity enjoyed by internet companies.
The panel’s top Democrat Maria Cantwell, who opposed the move last week, saying she was against using “the committee’s serious subpoena power for a partisan effort 40 days before an election,” changed her mind and voted to approve the move. On Thursday, he said Section 230’s “sweeping liability protections” are stifling diversity of political discourse on the internet.
Twitter AND Facebook?..
It makes zero sense to hold social media companies accountable for what users post. In not practical to expect social media companies to monitor the millions of posts on their sites on a daily basis. As if freedom of speech isn't already under threat online.
