Legislation proposed to limit Section 230 immunity. Exclusive — Kelly Loeffler Introduces Bill to Stop ‘Un-American’ Big Tech Censorship of Free Speech.

Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) introduced legislation Wednesday to limit the scope of big tech’s Section 230 legal immunity to stop “un-American” censorship of free speech on the Internet, Breitbart News can exclusively reveal.

“Free speech is the bedrock of American democracy, with our Founding Fathers enshrining this sacred right in the First Amendment to the Constitution,” Loeffler outlined in a statement.

Loeffler introduced the Stop Suppressing Speech Act of 2020, which would replace ambiguous terminology in Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act with more concrete terms to preserve free speech on the Internet. The legislation would use the terminology recommended by the Department of Justice (DOJ).

Big Tech: political operatives for left. Tech Companies’ Election Interference Has Gone Too Far.

The New York Post’s breaking news of emails purporting to show Hunter Biden scheming to make money off the family name has created a social media firestorm.

Twitter began blocking users from sharing it almost instantly. Facebook didn’t block the story outright, but it did announce almost immediately that it was “reducing its distribution on our platform.”

Even for the most sober observer, it sure seems like the social media platforms are interfering with the free flow of information relevant to our election. This is all the more so when you consider that stories critical of President Donald Trump, such as the anonymous leaks of his taxes, were not similarly blocked or throttled.

With the next presidential election less than two months away, the world’s largest internet and information companies have reached an agreement to adopt a single set of criteria for identifying and removing supposedly “hateful” or “bullying” content from their platforms.

On Wednesday the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA) announced that the online giants “have agreed to adopt a common set of definitions for hate speech and other harmful content and to collaborate with a view to monitoring industry efforts to improve in this critical area.”

DOJ to propose limits to Big Tech's immunity privilege. Justice Department to Propose Congressional Curbs to Big Tech Legal Immunity.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) will submit a proposal to Congress that would curb big tech’s legal immunity, according to a report released Wednesday.

The DOJ proposal would restrict big tech’s legal immunity in Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act if online platforms such as Facebook, Google, and Twitter fail to curb unlawful conduct on their platforms. The proposal also includes that big tech companies would be potentially liable if they fail to clarify their content moderation practices and do not consistently enforce those moderation practices.
