Georgia Republican joins the The Story to discuss her Senate runoff election campaign
EXCLUSIVE: Sens. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., and Tom Cotton, R-Ark., are releasing a bill that would crack down on tech companies that allow child sexual exploitation on their platforms by stripping liability protections, permitting victims to sue and introducing penalties for those responsible.
The “Holding Sexual Predators and Online Enablers Accountable Act” would amend the U.S. code to strip Section 230 protections from tech companies that “willfully or recklessly promotes or facilitates child exploitation.”
Section 230 of the 1934 Communications Act states that 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. It means that tech companies cannot be held liable for content posted by others on their sites.
