A Senator is introducing a bill that would blow up the business models for Facebook, YouTube, and other tech giants

's YouTube — from liability for the content users post. However, companies will be able to earn immunity from the crackdown if they submit to biannual audits to prove their algorithms and content-removal practices are "politicaly neutral."

Repealing the immunity provision could force these companies to use an editorial system where every piece of user-posted content would have to be vetted for illegal or libelous material before it's posted, instead relying on algorithms and human checkers to scan it after it was already online and had a chance to spread to millions of people.

"With Section 230, tech companies get a sweetheart deal that no other industry enjoys: complete exemption from traditional publisher liability in exchange for providing a forum free of political censorship," said Sen. Hawley. "Unfortunately, and unsurprisingly, big tech has failed to hold up its end of the bargain."Hawley's bill, the Ending Support for Internet Censorship Act, would maintain immunity for small and medium-sized companies.

"This legislation simply states that if the tech giants want to keep their government-granted immunity, they must bring transparency and accountability to their editorial processes and prove that they don't discriminate," Hawley said.

At least you serial liars don't get much traction, whatever trivial amount you're paying mcwellons is too much.
