Schiff, who held a virtual hearing with representatives of the major social media platforms earlier in June, said he did not believe all companies were moving in the right direction regarding tackling and preventing misinformation. When asked what could be done to prevent social media misinformation influencing the 2020 election, Schiff hinted at removing “immunity” granted to social media platforms under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. This law, introduced in 1996, protects online platforms from liability of user generated content.

Starbucks is the latest company to pause advertising across social media platformsStarbucks is the latest company said it will pause advertising on 'all social media platforms' and promises to have discussions internally and with media partners and civil rights organizations to stop the spread of hate speech. I think it's obvious to say Starbucks doesn't need advertising? People are already going to Starbucks as a habit/addiction. Starbucks COULD use the extra money paying their workers though. 🙂 I am really going to miss their corporate propaganda 🤣🤣🤣🤣 ❤❤❤❤
