“The Department of Justice will ask Congress on Wednesday to adopt a new law that would hold Facebook, Google and Twitter legally accountable for the way they handle some controversial content on the Web, as the Trump administration ratchets up its attacks on social-media sites entering the 2020 election,” the Washington Post reports.
“The new request from the Justice Department is expected to come in the form of a rare, legislative proposal to be shared with lawmakers that specifically seeks to whittle down Section 230, a decades-old provision of federal law that spares websites from being held liable for content posted by their users — and their own decisions about what posts, photos and videos to leave up or take down.”
