Republican Senators Push FCC to Act on Trump Social Media Order

Reuters

   Four Republican U.S. senators on Tuesday urged the Federal
   Communications Commission (FCC) to review whether to revise liability
   protections for internet companies after President Donald Trump urged
   action.

   Trump said last month he wants to "remove or change" a provision of a
   law that shields social media companies from liability for content
   posted by their users and directed a U.S. Commerce Department agency to
   petition the FCC to take action within 60 days.

   Senators Marco Rubio, Kelly Loeffler, Kevin Cramer and Josh Hawley
   asked the FCC to review Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act
   and "clearly define the criteria for which companies can receive
   protections under the statute."
