This would allow people like graham to shutdown services like Wikipedia that have truth they don’t like.
This will destroy social media, which may not be such a bad thing.
The biggest risks to social media orgs are the politicians and their operatives who post vile stuff but can’t be blocked because of „censorship“. So if they want to make social media liable, then they must have the right to censor anything, including them. Are they ready for that?
Wonder how this will be used to force people into giving up ID and photos to access things you’d be normally able to access for free on social media….
This should not even be considered until the fascist Trump is gone. The DOJ will only go after sites that host left wing content and bankrupt them. Durbin is enabling a witch hunt. Must be getting senile.

They think this will let them control the narrative, but when it backfires and they get deplatformed for hate speech they will cry its unfair
If Graham feels so strongly about holding social media companies responsible for content published on their services then maybe he could introduce legislation aimed directly at those services…instead of trying to undermine a provision which protects far broader personal free speech.
Anything Lindsey Graham thinks is a good idea is definitely not in people’s best interests.
Edit: typo
This would be a move to benefit big tech at the expense of everyone else. They’ve got the money to handle any fines that may occur (or the lawyers to fight them) – any hobbyist/non-profit sites with forums or posting functionality? Yeah, nope.
The fact that Democrats are pushing this too is very disappointing. All these politicians want to destroy the internet.
Perhaps Congress could, 🤷 write new legislation that increases regulations for those companies?
Sunsetting section 230 would be disastrous imo
This is such a dangerous and stupid idea
I still argue that the reaction to what people had about scared politicians. They heavily relied on media which had editors censor any opinion that is contrary to what government.
The article says they are protecting children but this is just an excuse to shut fown alternate opinions.
This is a sneaky way to get around the 1st amendment.
Can’t this cut both ways, though? We’re all worried about Trump and co piling frivolous lawsuits on liberal spaces, but can’t liberals do the same thing in reverse? Can’t we sue Truth Social for allowing any post that’s factually inaccurate?
The end of Section 230 would be the end of social media, of which Reddit is a member.
> Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act (CDA) protects online platforms from being held liable for third-party content. It shields websites from being considered publishers of user-generated content, allowing them to host reviews, posts, and listings without publisher liability
Not surprised to see the groups mentioned are also the same ones who are pushing hard for KOSA along with the senators pushing for bills such as KOSA and the Stop CS_M bill.
FairPlay and NCOSE are also the loudest supporters who want now not only want KOSA to pass but they want to end 230 for their selfish, twisted goals.

Beeban Kidron aka one of the chief architects of the UK Online Safety Act is pushing hard for KOSA and no surprise is that the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) is based in Britain plus Kidron runs a group known as 5Rights that is pushing for KOSA like legislation throughout the United States.

They want AI to be the internet now. This is a bailout for big AI.
Section 230 has flaws, but it is literally the legal backbone of the modern internet. you can’t just get rid of it.
