Four United States senators hypothesize called on the Federal Communications Commission to booty a "fresh look" at Sheet 230 of the Communications Decency Act, a rule that protects websites from liability for user-generated content. Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Josh Hawley (R-MO), Kelly Loeffler (R-GA), as well-built as Kevin Cramer (R-ND) snowed a letter to FCC chairperson Ajit Pai, asking the brevet to "clearly ascertain the framework under which technology firms, including social media companies, shoulder protections under Sheet 230."

The message reiterates a demand from Presidium Donald Trump, who signed an controlling order suspend "social media bias" posthumous Cheep affixed a fact-check to his fictitious claims anyway voter fraud. The order is probably ineffectual as well-built as legally dubious, as well-built as it's already been challenged in court for violating the First Amendment. But this letter backs up its indoors point: that the FCC should sidestep Delegates as well-built as the courts to embody its own, increasingly politically favorable definition of Sheet 230.

The letter argues that websites should believe successful risk for user-generated content back they "blur the curve encompassed distributor as well-built as supervisor by benign one political point of appearance over another," but it complains that "judicial expansion" as well-built as "a slightness of evaporate rules" hypothesize delivering them to overture gaping protections.

In reality, Sheet 230 applies to any "interactive computer service" regardless of whether it has a political camber or produces editorial content of its own. Courts hypothesize taken an expansive appearance of Sheet 230, but they've moreover interpreted it fairly everlastingly over the practiced couple of decades. The FCC can't artlessly redefine the accredited sweep of a slim as well-built as unabashedly law -- serious changes would overcrowd to come through Congress, where lawmakers hypothesize proposed several changes to Sheet 230, including one "anti-bias" bill from Hawley.

The letter comes anon posthumous Sheet 230 co-writer Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) published an op-ed in CNN Business defensive the rule. "Social media -- as a downright sidebar of Sheet 230 -- has been a huge megaphone for people who appetite to rencontre those in power," he wrote. "Trump's entrada to cancel Sheet 230 is often a way of grandiosity social media companies so that he may post what he wants after any challenge."
