Bipartisan lawmakers want to strip Big Tech's legal immunity that can shield social media companies

Bipartisan lawmakers aim to strip Big Tech's legal immunity under Section 230 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which shields social media companies from lawsuits and criminal charges based on user-posted content. This move could impact how platforms handle hate content. The discussion around Section 230 has been ongoing, with various stakeholders weighing in on its implications for free speech and platform liability.
