Democrats want a truce with Section 230 supporters:
Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which says apps and websites aren't legally liable for third-party content, has inspired a lot of overheated rhetoric in Congress. Republicans like Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) have successfully framed the rule as a "gift to Big Tech" that enables social media censorship. While Democrats have very different critiques, some have embraced a similar fire-and-brimstone tone with the bipartisan EARN IT Act. But a Senate subcommittee tried to reset that narrative today with a hearing for the Platform Accountability and Consumer Transparency (PACT) Act, a similarly bipartisan attempt at a more nuanced Section 230 amendment. While the hearing didn't address all of the PACT Act's very real flaws, it presented the bill as an option for Section 230 defenders who still want a say in potential reforms.
[...] Still, Section 230 has been at the forefront of US politics for years, and some kind of change looks increasingly likely. If that's true, then particularly after today's hearing, a revised version of the PACT Act looks like the clearest existing option to preserve important parts of the law without dismissing calls for reform. And hashing out those specifics may prove more important than focusing on the policy's most hyperbolic critics.

The fact that this comment is modded troll really highlights who the facists are. They cant have debate, they just suppress speech they dont like. This is why these things are changing. Tech and media are for everyone, not just little wankers.

Don't they know you are entitled to silence others because you are so moral, good, and perfect? Why don't they know you are so moral, good, and perfect?

So down modding is censorship? Might want to tell TMB, he usually cares about that sort of thing and would be SHOCKED to find it happening on SN.

You are entitled to free speech. You are not entitled to an audience or a platform. As we say in the old country, "Khrai sum moar!"
