Senators including Chuck Grassley and Dick Durbin support legislation that would sunset Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996, which protects internet providers from liability for content posted on their platforms. Communication professors and legal experts say the removal could stifle information sharing, as providers would face a deluge of lawsuits.

    Void, fucking Durbin; just keeps voting for (and sponsoring…) the most rancid of bills on his way out.

    I can’t wait to finally be rid of him, after the midterms.

    This is how fascists will try to end freedom of the press. As consolidated as media is, ISPs are even fewer and will yield to being the iGestapo without protection of 230.

    They should go after the content creators and maybe actual child molesters if they have concerns. We have one in the oval office and his party is stuffed with them.

    we need to end laws that offer protections for US Senators as they are negatively impacting children.
