The proposal would weaken Section 230, the law that protects internet companies from being held liable for other people's posts on their platforms as long as they make a good faith effort to remove illegal content. President Donald Trump asked the FCC to consider revoking Section 230 protections from Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube last month, claiming that the sites are biased against him.President Donald Trump issued an executive order last month calling on federal agencies to crack down on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Now, the Justice Department is poised to take action to roll back protections for those internet companies.
The proposal is reportedly set to be released as early as this week and would need to be adopted by Congress to become law.
