Description

GOP senators are proposing to modify section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, the foundational law that protects tech platforms from liability for content posted on them and that also allows them to moderate content. I’m all in favor of updating old laws governing new companies and new tech! But this seems like a manifestly bad way to fix a problem that doesn’t exist---and that may make a real and existing problem worse.
