Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) sounds like he means business with big tech.
Graham put them on notice this week that the clock is ticking.
If these platforms don’t wise up, he is coming for them.
Get It Right
Over the last six years, conservatives have had to deal with unprecedented censorship.
At the same time, social media platforms have been used by child traffickers, sexual predators, and even terrorists.
Graham has had enough.
There is now a bill that would dial back protections of these platforms, but lobbyists for big tech are fighting it.
Graham warned big tech, “If this doesn’t work, I’m going to offer legislation to repeal Section 230, two years from whatever date the bill is enacted, and let the trial lawyers fix this problem.
“To the social media companies: I’m glad to work with you, I want to work with you, but you’re eventually going to lose.
“And if I were you, I’d sit down with a bunch of us and try to figure a way to regulate your business so you can thrive and survive and protect the consumers, because if you don’t, we’re gonna unleash the courtrooms of America against your business model.”
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) added, “It’s time for the social media companies to face the reality.
“We can have these hearings after hearings after hearings.
“We can hear all the victims and all the surviving parents tell these terrible stories.
“We can imagine them among our own children and grandchildren.
“And then if we step back and say this is just too big and complicated, and we’re against too big a situation here, we can’t change it. Shame on us.”
So far, it has been all talk by Congress on this front, so let’s hold them to their word and make them produce or remove them from office.
