Sen. Hawley: Big Tech's Sec. 230 Sweetheart Deal Must End

Says liability carve-out needs caveat

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) railed at Big Tech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington Friday, saying the days of a sweetheart deal between the government and Big Tech need to come to an end. "Google and Facebook
should not be a law unto themselves, " he said to applause.
During an interview with the Wall Street Journal's Kimberley Strassel. Hawley identified the principle such deal as Sec. 230 of the Communications Decency Act. That is the section, relied upon by social media platforms, that relieves them of liability for third-party content, saying, in part: "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider."
