Big Tech CEO Senate hearing ends with little discussion on how to fix companies' liability shield.

The hearing began at 10 a.m. ET and ended shortly before 2 p.m. ET.

The CEOs of Facebook, Google and Twitter testified before the Senate Commerce Committee on Wednesday to defend their legal liability shield. Bipartisan members of the committee are eager to reform Section 230, which protects tech platforms from liability from their users' posts and also allows them to moderate and remove posts they find objectionable. The shield has come under attack from Republicans who accuse platforms of using it to shield them from claims of bias and Democrats who accuse them of failing to effectively remove harmful content.

It's a way to trouble tech industry because they will not do anything against it.

Yeah that was a waste of time. Free speech is dead. censorship sux.

They violate Section 230 and it needs to be fixed, just for them? What they did was censorship. That act, violated section 230. The Committee does not want their campaign money! The stocks lost a little over 5%. Obviously, no one cares!

There is no need to 'fix' anything these are private platforms that have there rules in place one doesn't have to go on Twitter or Facebook for any information .

news Just watched TuckerCarlson interview with Bobulinski JoeBiden is a compromised national security risk. CorruptJoeBiden This veteran is a hell of a lot more credible than NSA leaker AVindman. Yet zero interest from US media other than to actively surpress story.

Crazy stuff, I watched and it was very weird. And also revealed how many in the senate don’t know MATH!

Curious how the platform businessmodel of Facebook, Amazon, Apple & Google is related to possible abuse of market power & violation of rules around privacy & ethics? 👇

Take it away and make them responsible for the content published on their websites.

AmericanMOM01 Because its a complicated issue, made even more complicate when republicans want it fix to allow any conspiracy to be published without filter.

AUDIT the PROGRAM/CODE of these LIARS Tweeker (Dorsey), Pinnochio (Pichai) & Fudger (Suckerberg). The Chinese CCP will not allow them to operate in China without SUBMITTING their code/program for AUDIT to the Chinese CCP. That is how the CCP remains in CONTROL
