DOJ Plans To Roll Back Tech Monopoly Legal Protections Over Left-Wing Speech Policing
June 17, 2020
Jordan Davidson The Justice Department announced plans Wednesday to make legislative recommendations for changes to the legal protections surrounding big tech companies. The decision comes just a day after Google Ads attempted to demonetize The Federalist over “race based content” and just a month after President Trump signed an executive order with intentions to curb the cut back on the protections after alleged censorship of conservative news outlets. Attorney General William Barr, according to the Wall Street Journal, also “has repeatedly voiced concerns about online-platform immunity.”.... ...Despite claims by many tech companies that Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, the section that grants them protection, is necessary, the proposal’s goal “would be to require platforms to adhere to their terms of service as well as their public claims about their practices. Platforms also would have to provide reasonable explanations of their decisions.” http://thefederalist.com/2020/06/17/doj-plans-to-roll-back-tech-monopoly-legal-protections-over-left-wing-speech-policing/ IP: Logged |

It was in another thread, not it’s own. It’s the opposite; had I seen this post, I would have commented here.IP: Logged |
